Rakic: Stylistically Blachowicz is more convenient for me than Santos

Austrian UFC light heavyweight Aleksandar Rakic spoke about a possible fight with the champion of his division Jan Blachowicz.

“I think stylistically Blachowicz is even more comfortable for me than Thiago Santos. My reaction and movement are at a high level, I have been performing sports for many years. Of course, it will be a tough battle, but I am getting better every day. I train hard with a great team behind me. The quality of the last camp was amazing.

"During each training session, we record sparring sessions and analyze them in the evening. For example, a wrestling or striking trainer sees something that we could improve, and immediately the next day we work on it. After every fight, you see the best version of Aleksandar Rakic. With a higher fighting IQ, calmer and better shape. Victory by knockout or submission is just a matter of time. I am working very hard on this, and I think that Blachowicz and I will have a great fight," Rakic ​​said in an interview with YouTube channel James Lynch.

Rakic ​​had his last fight in March, winning by unanimous decision over Thiago Santos. As for Blachowicz, he will have a second belt defense against Glover Teixeira on September 25th.
