Aleksandar Rakic ​​​​looks to break his title run with a win over Magomed Ankalaev at UFC 308

Aleksandar Rakic ​​is hoping to clinch the UFC light heavyweight title with a win over Magomed Ankalaev this weekend.

As we know, Aleksandar Rakic’s career has been something of a roller coaster ride. After compiling a record of 14-2, he lost back-to-back fights against Jan Blachowicz and Jiri Prochazka. He suffered a knee injury in the first and appeared to be in control in the second before Prochazka made a big comeback.

In a recent interview, he talked about the opportunity that lies ahead of him.
