The UFC has announced a fight card set for August 1 in Serbia. Currently, the UFC roster includes three fighters representing Serbia: Dusko Todorovic (4-6 UFC), Uros Medic (7-3 UFC), and Aleksandar Rakic (6-5 UFC). The post speculates that the event will likely feature Rakic's debut at heavyweight and a bout for Medic against a top-15 opponent. Fans are invited to weigh in on who should headline the card and who the Serbian fighters' opponents should be. No official matchups have been announced yet.
The UFC has officially announced a fight card scheduled for August 1 in Serbia, marking a notable return to the region. While no matchups have been confirmed, the promotion's Serbian-connected roster naturally draws attention to three fighters who could feature on the bill.
Aleksandar Rakic, nicknamed "Rocket," is the highest-profile name in that group. The 34-year-old Austrian, who fights out of Gym 23, holds a 14-6-0 professional record and currently sits ranked sixth in the light heavyweight division. Standing six-foot-four with a 78-inch reach, Rakic lands 4.13 significant strikes per minute at a 50 percent accuracy rate. He has not yet competed at heavyweight, and speculation around the event suggests that division jump could happen here, though nothing is official.
Uros Medic, known as "The Doctor," brings a 13-3-0 record and one of the sharper striking profiles in his division. The 33-year-old southpaw, who trains at Kings MMA in the United States, connects at a 60 percent striking accuracy rate and lands 5.59 significant strikes per minute — both strong numbers. At six-foot-one with a 71-inch reach, Medic has drawn early speculation about a potential top-15 opponent, though again no bout has been made official.
Dusko Todorovic, the only native Serb among the three, rounds out the group. "Thunder" is 13-6-0 overall and holds a 4-6 UFC record. The 32-year-old orthodox fighter from team Secutor stands six-foot-one with a 74-inch reach and generates 4.73 significant strikes per minute at 57 percent accuracy. His takedown rate of 1.77 per 15 minutes adds a wrestling dimension to his game.
Why it matters
- Serbia would represent a fresh UFC market, giving the promotion a foothold in the Balkans
- Rakic's potential heavyweight debut, if confirmed, would be a meaningful divisional move for a ranked light heavyweight
- Medic's striking efficiency makes him an attractive booking against any ranked opposition
- Todorovic fighting on home soil could generate significant local interest regardless of opponent
