Aleksandar Rakić says there is ‘unfinished business’ with Jan Blachowicz, wants rematch

Aleksandar Rakiu0107 wants a rematch against Jan Blachowicz.

Rakiu0107 lost to Blachowicz via third-round TKO after suffering an injury at UFC Vegas 54 this past May. The No. 3 contender entered the fight with a torn ACL, which he has since undergone surgery to repair.

Recovery from ACL surgery could see a fighter out of action between six months to one year, but given how well the process has gone so far, Rakiu0107 told Farah Hannoun of MMA Junkie that he could return to the Octagon either late 2022 or early 2023.
