Reminder that he won against Oezdemir.
Milos Obilic .
Definetly 💥
My god 2 acl/meniscus injuries back to back, I tore mine I could not imagine what he was going through mentally, Fucking warrior he’s got my support
Fucking warrior he’s got my support
Fucking support he’s got my warrior
F..n suport warior
Mufasa Bin-Laden you no life alcoholic piece of shit 😂 you ain’t got my support bitch go back to ur moms basement
Aleksandar Sulejic shut the fuck up bitch
Simplicity, no trash talking, no contempt or arrogance. I like it.
They’re promoting the hell outta Rakic and it’s well deserved 👊🏾 there’s absolutely no way he’ll disappoint with that amazing kickboxing. He’ll at least go on a streak 🤷🏾♂️
He has good kickboxing but he still ATTEMPTED NINE takedowns against a fellow striker Volkan oezdemir.
Anthony gonna shut him down real hard
Ali Abdelaziz you are a dumb ass bitch
@Ali Abdelaziz hows Noah??
First Serbian Space program ROCKET!!!
Austrian*
Dundo Maroje he is gonna get out with Serbian flag in this fight soo...no more Austrian as well.
Patološka pojava.. 😆 As a Pole it sounds funny for me! Pozdrav iz Polskije! 😉
@@DUNDOM5 he is Serbian born in Austira...
@@jesusschizus272 Pozdrav za braću Poljake
Rakic literally retired Manuwa with that head kick. He’s a dangerous kickboxer and I’m excited to see what he does against Lionheart
You have to give props too Anthony Smith tho he has been fighting absolute killers! This should be a good ass war!
Nah Thiago retired him before this. Rakic just put the final nail in it
@@verstappen9937 Retiring doesn't mean fighting again
I think is more of a thiaboxer
Manuwa was on his way out anyways. He was 39 and came off a brutal loss against Thiago lol.
Anthony Smith just took so much damage 3 months ago and hes fighting this Killer wtf
@Godspeed Dangerous, but for Rakic is enough i think.......but i hope for Rakic !
they don’t call him lion heart for nothin
He is a fighter.......
Hidden Harvest Grow Lights you dont say
Smith is a true fighter. He gives no fucks about who or where he fights. Hes making money lol
My prediction? Rakić knocks him out cold in the first round. Let's go Rakić, the whole Serbia is with you.
*u mean Austria
Well.. You re a bit biased. Cos you are a Serbian. Rakic could win but Smith is a good fighter, too.
@@DUNDOM5 don't be mad
@@DUNDOM5 you can say austria, you can say whatever you want, fact is, there are more serbs who are fan of rakic and rakic is a serb ethnically, and he feels like one (he confirmed that in his podcast interview with michael bisping, if you want the link and timestamp, lemme know)
People are too uneducated to know Rakic is not an Austrian surname and is of Yugoslavian.
Aleksandre, sve najbolje ti od srca zelim...budi ponosan na svoju porodicu, svoj narod i na sebe
Rakic did not lose to oezdemir
@Ali Abdelaziz you are muslim,you must cry
@@danmal333 serbia #1
Unanimous for Rakic Judges blind
@@dadodjurovic8206 exactly
Judges were shook and they raises wrong hand
badass for sure. and cool dude. check out his latest interview on bispings podcast if you get a chance
We should collab kzhead.info/sun/p8aCfqyNbpSEiqM/bejne.html
He was on UFC unfiltered aswell. Great guy the best. Used to train with him. Never met him though
@@ttctexas9714 Fehr shure b-b-b beast of a man, probably has a fat hog as well
@@ttctexas9714 no doubt. probably smashes the pads and you can hear it from wherever in the gym
Svu srecu zelim zivotinji Rakicu...pozz iz Hrvatske 🇭🇷🇷🇸
That gym is beautiful....
Most famous one in vienna
Idemo jako brate moj SRBIJA💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
That manuwa ko is insane
love him and his attitude
Absolute beast
Ajmo Rakicu doktore!
Slavic power. Rakic will have a lion's heart for dinner.
With his lion leg 😂😭
slavik österreich power wenn dann ;)
@@lockhead9724 Von mir aus ;-)
@ImmigrantMentality haha, was für ein KOmmentar. Find ich gut, dass du dir nicht zu Schade bist, mit deiner Begrenztheit Leute im Internet zu unterhalten. Viel Spaß beim AMS
Like Prochazka
Love this guy absolute animal
"I back, trust me i back" - Rakić's foot to Manuwas chin.
Most mma fighters don’t know how to Weight lift to save their life lol. This dude definitely ahead of the game
Idemo brate,pokazi im zashto si tu,idemo po pobedu ...💪👊👏🙏 kralju
I swear I thought manuwa was dead in that fight
He isn’t? I kinda just assumed he was
Really great. I liked. Proud of you. God bless you.
Легендо, све најбоље! ☝🏼
In my opinion aleksandar rakic beat volkan
That first clip looked like it was straight off the UFC video game!
So inspirational. Future LHW Champ.🥇🏆🥊🤼♂️
WOW, this man is future champ
I feel we'll see some flying teeth on this fight.
Its called Smith is a goner unless he just clenches the whole time
It will be Anthony's for sure👊
Let's go champ
Rakic needs more chances to proof himself on the big stage. Love this guy and looking forward to vegas!
Why the subtitles though? I'm not a native and I can understand them perfectly. it's a big disrespect to the efforts those guys put in learning a foreign language. But I guess I shouldn't be surprised when the video is produced by Americans
Super power, Super amazing Aleksandar Rackic you can give the harm bar to the drogon God it's with you Always.
looked like an intro to a game. insight on ur character. best of luck this weekend
rakic the future champ💪💪💪💪💪
those are some letal kicks
Thank you.
If Rakic and Reyes win these upcoming fights that Title fight would be exactly what 205 needs. 2 hungry young lions battling it out. I see Rakic with the Strap in 2021
Santos is the next in line if he beats Teixeira. Rakic follows but he needs the W on saturday.
If Santos finished Glover I could see him getting the next title shot. But if Rakic finishes Smith impressively I see him next in line to the Winner of Reyes vs Blackowich(I tried lol)
But what you think about Rumble he's coming back. This getting interesting. Plus. Jones moving to the heavyweight division.
I think light heavyweight is becoming really stacked
We're over the 10 M suscribers, what a trip !
I‘m an Austrian Hope he makes it
Nemam reci,svaka čast kakav čovek!Sve Najbolje mu zelim!
Very sympathetic guy. Alles Gute Brate, hau ihn um.
Respect Alex iz Slovenije
Rakic is hell of a Fighter!!
Idemoooo💪💪
Ajmo raketa 🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸 Jako u nedelju!
This guy, Dominick Reyes and Jiri Prochazka are the reasons jon jones left the division.
Especially Reyes. Jones knows he cant square up with reyes, let alone these other 2 who honestly look a bit more dangerous than dominick.
So you forgot that he had to fight Jan next!
@@brandonwhitehead2856 Every Jones rematch that he won the first time, he won more convincingly the second. As close as that Reyes fight was (and won in many peoples eyes), I don't think that he would allow it to be so close a 2nd time and take him out in 3. Rakic on the other hand I feel could well be Jones' first loss. Not that Jan is going to be considered anything but a really tough match up. And i'd love to see that lanky tool get his arse handed to him by any of those guys so i'm not a Jones fan either.
@@slinkytreekreeper it doesnt matter. Every fight is different. What if dominick comes out with improved wrestling defense and cardio that jones wasnt expecting? DC was tagging jones quite a bit in the rematch until he got kicked. Everyone gets caught at some point.
@@slinkytreekreeper yes, jones is a master at making adjustments. Especially mid fight. If reyes can back jones up and land good shots and keep him on his heels, rakic and prochazka can definitely give him trouble. Its hard to make adjustments after taking heavy shots
2:29 thats the scariest training video I've ever seen
Kako mi je drago zbog njega ne samo zato sto je nas covek vec koliko je normalan,posten i skroman momak. Do titule brate moj dobri RS!
those oly numbers are great!!
Future champ
Let s go Rakic 🚀🚀🚀
Starker Fighter! Starkes Team! 💪😁👏 Ich freu mich auf die Performance am 29.8.! 😎
Rocket time🚀🚀🚀 Rakic will win!
Rakich is my favoirite austrian fighter. I hope he gets the W against Smith.
lame troll
He would be great match-up with Ryes
Next level guy, hope his effort pays off. I think he will be fop5 for loooong period.
Rakic is really underrated and if Smith is gonna take that fight not serious like against Teixeira hes gonna loosing more than just teeths on saturday
Kind of funny how Oezdemir was robbed against Reyes (and therefore would have fought Jones) then Rakic was robbed against Oezdemir.
And then Reyes was robbed against Jones
Александар Велики! 🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸
Future Champ!!
Anthony Smith better be careful this fight, hope James Krause isnt giving him bad advice in the corner again but I think Rakic will knock him out
His strength and conditioning training is evolved and different than other UFC fighters, he really brings something new to the table as far as the fighting game. Modern athlete I would say. He has the benefit of being a kick boxer from the age of like 12 or 13, he knows his technique is perfect so he majorly focuses on performance now. Tighten up the grappling and control on the ground, and he'll be the champ no doubt.
Idemooo aco šampione Poz veliki
he's bringing the belt soon to vienna🔥
Smith has problems with high level strikers and this is going to be the most technical, the quickest and the most precise fighter has ever had to deal with! The ref better keep a close eye on him. If he takes a beating like last time it could be his final fight!
If Rakic wins I wanna see him vs Prochazka.
#metoo
There was a time when I thought That Austria was a shortcut for Australia
Lol🤷🏼♀️
Hahahaha
everybody does
The Future #1
Lets go future champ
That's why Jones switched to heavyweight this guy is one of the reasons
Bogus! None of these new guys can beat Jones and DC-
This should be a great fight
💪💯🔥
Rakic vs Jiri will be awesome

Glover mu je izbio zube, Rakic ce mu izvaditi krajnike🚀
Aleksandar "The Poster Boy" Rakic
Serbia is on your side brother!!! Ajmo do popede
Him and Reyes will be interesting if and when it ever happens
I feel this is a bad match up for smith, I could be wrong I just see him taking a lot of damage.
Good fight
Vamos con todo Smith
Ajmo Aco, podrška is Hrvatske
Wien lebt 💪

That is happening when you combine balkan (Serbian) strength and mindset with German working habits. :) Brate Srbija je uz tebe! My brother whole Serbia is cheering you up!
Pozdrav iz Bosne
Put this guy in the game please
Jones watched this video. "I'm vacating the title!!!" 💪🏻😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆👍🏻
Rakic vs Reyes all day ..bmf
Ajmooo raketaaaa 🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸
Don't forget Smith its an animal, you look past him you loose. Respect the opponent. Let the best man win ;) By The way #TeamBlachowicz!
Oh God another devasted night for Anthony Smith.
samo prcaj dalje rakicu
With that type of fire power.. I'm sure he'll gas out within the 3rd round. Easy win for Anthony. 🔥
