<p style="text-align: center"><b>Aleksandar Rakic 2024: Record, Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements</b></p>

<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Who is Aleksandar Rakic?</strong></h2>
Aleksandar Rakic is one of the best fighters in the UFC's light heavyweight division. The Serbian fighter has been professionally fighting since 2011. 'Rocket' Rakic plied his trade in various competitions across Europe before making his way to the States. As of 2024, he sits at #5 in UFC light heavyweight <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.ufc.com/rankings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rankings</a>. Rakic has been an LHW mainstay in the promotion and is currently coming off a loss against Jan BÅ‚achowicz.

<img class="size-medium wp-image-606708 aligncenter" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210405072806/rakic-2-525x315.jpg" alt="Aleksandar Rakic" width="525" height="315" />

Born in Austria, Rakic is currently 32 years of age and perhaps a future contender for the light heavyweight title that currently sits on the shoulders of Alex Pereira. He is ranked #5 in the division as of right now but perhaps that will change if he secures a win against Jiri Prochazka at UFC 300. Here's more about him.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Aleksandar Rakicâ€™s early life</strong></h2>
Aleksandar Rakic was born in Vienna, Austria. He was born into a Serb family and a young Rakic was always interested in physical sports. That's probably why he started his journey off by playing football. However, a young Rakic was told he was much too aggressive for the sport and so, at the age of 12, he began his kickboxing training which eventually led him to the Octagon as we see him today.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Aleksandar Rakicâ€™s wife and children</strong></h2>
Aleksandar Rakic is married to <strong>Melanie,</strong> who is his wife of about five years now. The couple is believed to have exchanged their wedding vows back in 2019. The two are parents to a young boy, Andrej Rakic. Much is unknown about Rakic's family as they keep their life rather private.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><strong>Aleksandar Rakicâ€™s net worth 2024Â  </strong></h2>
His career's disclosed earnings are about Â $50,000 but of course, he has made much more than that in terms of salaries and more. His base salary is close to the aforementioned $50,000 and his net worth stands at an estimated $100,000.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><strong>Aleksandar Rakicâ€™s career timeline </strong></h2>
Rakic made his UFC debut in the year 2017. He fought and beat Francimar Barroso via unanimous decision at UFC Fight Night: Volkov vs. Struve. Later, he defeated notable names like Justin Ledet, Devin Clark, and Jimi Manuwa.

<figcaption>via Imago</figcaption></figure>
In his career, the fighter has given a lot of terrific performances. In 2020, he dominated former title challengerÂ <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/anthony-smith/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Anthony Smith</a> to claim a unanimous decision win. Earlier this year, he conquered another title challenger in Thiago Santos. 'Rocket' then went on to fight Jan BÅ‚achowicz which was his losing battle in May 2022 and now, he's set to face Jiri Prochazka at UFC 300.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Aleksandar Rakicâ€™s contracts</strong></h2>
Aleksandar Rakic is currently bound to a 6-fight contract with the UFC. It was originally signed in the year 2020 and was his third contract with the promotion in his 2 years of fighting at the time. Here's how he shared the news on Instagram. <em>â€œPleased to announce that I signed a new long term contract with 6 fights in the @ufc . This is the 3rd contract with the company in 2 years. Rocket Time . . ."</em>
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center">Aleksandar Rakic's career stats and record</h2>
The Austrian fighter is a violent striker who has claimed a huge portion of his wins by knockout. His sole submission win came almost eight years ago. As he has a 90% takedown defense in the UFC, it is tough to get him away from a vertical base and deny him the chance to strike.

His record currently stands at Â 14-3-0. He is a light heavyweight fighter and is 6 feet 4 inches in height. He has achieved 9 of his 14 professional wins via knockouts or TKOs. He has one submission and one decision win as well.

Rakic is also a purple <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.mmamania.com/2020/8/28/21403127/aleksandar-rakic-fighter-breakdown-strengths-weaknesses-anthony-smith-ufc-vegas-8-espn-mma#:~:text=A%20Brazilian%20jiu%2Djitsu%20purple,win%20via%20north%2Dsouth%20choke!" target="_blank" rel="noopener">belt</a>Â in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
