Aleksandar Rakic's loss to Volkan Oezdemir

This past weekend in Busan, South Korea, two of Europe's hardest-hitting Light Heavyweights went toe-to-toe in the Octagon, as the previously undefeated Rakic stepped into the Octagon against the returning Oezdemir.

Rakic, who had previously stopped the likes of Justin Ledet, Devin Clark, and Jimi Manuwa inside the Octagon, started the fight by landing some solid shots that certainly wobbled Oezdemir in the early stages. However, Oezdemir managed to get back into the fight in the later rounds as he utilized his massive strength in order to slow down Rakic and also caused massive swelling in the latter's leg as well.

'No Time' eventually ended up winning the bout via split decision and in his post-fight Octagon interview, Oezdemir called for a rematch against Anthony Smith and even Dominick Reyes.
