Aleksandar Rakić Outpoints Marcin Tybura in Belgrade
Aleksandar Rakić defeated Marcin Tybura by unanimous decision at UFC Belgrade on August 1, 2026. The heavyweight bout went the distance, offering a contrast to the event’s many first-round finishes.
A decision amid a night of stoppages
Rakić and Tybura completed the scheduled rounds, leaving the outcome to the judges. UFC’s official results identify Rakić as the unanimous-decision winner, while the scorecards document the officials’ view of the contest.
The result came on a card headlined by Uroš Medić’s first-round stoppage of Daniel Rodriguez. Rakić’s matchup instead required a full fight, giving the Belgrade event a mix of fast finishes and a longer heavyweight decision.
What the official record establishes
Rakić’s win is recorded as a decision rather than a knockout or submission. The result preserves the distinction between a clear judges’ verdict and a stoppage, which is important when summarizing a card with a high number of early endings.
UFC’s event page confirms the date and location, and its scorecards confirm the decision. The available record supports the winner and method without adding claims about a title opportunity or future booking that the promotion had not announced.
The decision was one of the few bouts on the card to continue to the judges. UFC’s results page records Medić’s fast main-event stoppage and Stirling’s win over Błachowicz elsewhere on the card, helping place Rakić’s full-distance bout beside rather than inside the event’s finish statistics.
