Background[edit]

Rakić started competing in kickboxing and boxing when he was 14 years old and accumulated over 40 fights prior to transitioning into MMA when he was at the age of 19 as he wanted to incorporate grappling and wrestling into his fighting skills.[4][5]

Mixed martial arts career[edit]

Early career[edit]

Rakić started his professional MMA career in 2011, competing primarily in the European circuit, and amassed a record of 8—1 before being signed by the UFC in March 2017.[6]

Rakić made his UFC debut on September 2, 2017 against Francimar Barroso at UFC Fight Night 115 in Rotterdam, Netherlands.[7] He won the fight via unanimous decision (30–27, 30–27, and 30–27).[8]

Rakić was expected to face Gadzhimurad Antigulov on February 24, 2018 at UFC on Fox 28.[9] However, it was reported on February 7, 2018 that Antigulov was pulled from the fight, citing injury, as a result, the bout was cancelled.[10]

His next fight came on July 22, 2018 at UFC Fight Night 134 against Justin Ledet.[11] He won the fight via unanimous decision (30–25, 30–24, and 30–24).[12]
