Aleksandar Rakic (14-2) earned his second win in a row by defeating fellow top-ranked light heavyweight Thiago Santos via a unanimous decision. Statistically, the numbers were pretty close, with Rakic earning 36 significant strikes (50 total strikes) while missing both of his takedown attempts in 15 minutes of action. Before the bout, Rakic entered ranked as the division's No. 4 light heavyweight, along with Santos ranked at No. 2. The win likely puts Rakic in line for a title shot very soon. He has been a bit heavy on the decision wins lately, and getting back to the KO/TKO wins will bolster his fantasy value.--Matt Bricker
