Combat Profile

Aleksandar Rakić, known as "The Rocket," brings a high-level kickboxing pedigree to the Light Heavyweight division, having honed his skills at SBG Ireland. He is particularly dangerous due to his thunderous low kicks which have compromised the movement of top contenders like Thiago Santos and Jimi Manuwa. Rakić combines this devastating leg game with crisp boxing and solid cardio, making him a formidable threat in the clinch and at range.

Tactical Advantage

Rakić exploits opponents who struggle to check leg kicks or lack the footwork to escape his relentless forward pressure in the center of the Octagon. He thrives against fighters willing to trade strikes in the pocket, utilizing his sharp boxing combinations and durability to wear them down over five rounds. However, he can be vulnerable against elite wrestlers or counter-strikers who can capitalize on his commitment to power shots.
