Aleksandar Rakic’s record, in numbers

Aleksandar Rakic’s official record is 14-6. Every figure on this page is counted instead from the 14 bouts MMA Hub holds a result for — 9 wins, 5 losses — because 6 bouts from the official record are not in the history we hold.

The 9 wins break down as 5 by knockout and 4 by decision — 5 of 9 inside the distance, a finish rate of 56%. Across the 12 of 14 bouts with a recorded finishing round, the average bout lasted 9 minutes 48 seconds.

Aleksandar Rakic has been stopped 3 times in the 14 bouts on file — 3 by knockout — which is 21% of them. The last 4 bouts on file are all losses.

Of the 14 bouts MMA Hub holds a result for, 3 were the main event of the card. Two of them have come since July 2024.

Set against the 498 Heavyweight fighters MMA Hub holds eight or more bouts for, Aleksandar Rakic has a finish rate above 16% of them, a record of avoiding stoppage above 49% of them and a two-year bout count above 76% of them. The comparison is made inside the division rather than across the whole roster, because how often a division finishes depends heavily on what it weighs.

Aleksandar Rakic is listed at 6ft 4in with a reach of 78in, fights orthodox and is 34, born 5 February 1992.

These figures are recomputed from Aleksandar Rakic’s bout history each time results are synced, so they follow the record rather than a fixed snapshot.
