Overview
- Aleksandar Rakic defeated Marcin Tybura by unanimous decision with three 30-27 scorecards on Saturday at UFC Fight Night 283 in Belgrade.
- The victory was Rakic’s first since March 2021 and ended a four-fight losing streak that had pushed him to change weight classes.
- Reporters credited Rakic’s high-volume striking, repeated leg kicks and fence work for keeping Tybura from mounting a sustained comeback.
- Rakic’s skid included losses to Jan Blachowicz, Jiří Procházka and Magomed Ankalaev, so this win represents a clear career reset after setbacks at light heavyweight.
- Marcin Tybura has now dropped multiple fights in a row, and both fighters’ next opponents have not been announced, leaving their placement in the heavyweight pecking order to be decided by future matchmaking.
