Fighter analysis
AI-assisted editorial grounded in Fight Detective’s stored fight and ELO data.
Style and fight patterns
The snapshot’s baseline metrics suggest Rakic operates with a measured but productive striking pace: 4.13 significant strikes landed per minute (SLpM) against 2.86 absorbed per minute (SApM). That differential aligns with a style that can win minutes when exchanges stay at range, though it does not, by itself, describe shot selection or where the strikes land. Defensively, he is listed with 51% striking defense and an 85% takedown defense rate. Taken together, those numbers indicate opponents may have difficulty converting takedowns consistently, and that he absorbs fewer strikes than he lands over time. Offensively, his takedown average is 0.64 with a 0.1 submission average, which points to some grappling involvement without it being the dominant driver of his output in the stats. Results-wise, the fight log shows wins by KO/TKO, submission, and decision, indicating multiple ways to close out or manage fights. Recent form is a clear concern in the provided record: four consecutive losses from 2022 to 2025, including multiple KO/TKO defeats, suggest that outcomes have trended away from him even when prior fights showed balanced win conditions.
