Aleksandar Rakic and Azamat Murzakanov are set to open the UFC 321 main card with a bout that promises high drama and heavy strikes. Rakic, known for his technical kickboxing and fight IQ, steps into the Octagon for the first time in over a year, eager to remind fans why he was once seen as a future title challenger.
Across from him stands Murzakanov, the undefeated powerhouse from Russia who thrives on aggressive striking and forward pressure. The key question: can Rakic handle Murzakanov’s early storm and impose his cleaner technique?
Pick: Aleksandar Rakic by unanimous decision. His reach, composure, and counterstriking could neutralize Murzakanov’s brawling style.
