Rakic isn't a big risk taker. He also ran out the clock against Smith. But he also doesn't really make any mistakes. And does everything well. He's a problem for the division.

Fighting like this, no way Santos beats anyone in the top 5, much less top 10.

Rakić a bit too tentative out there, might need to pick up the action if he want to secure the win

Yes but rakic doesn’t have the best takedowns imo and santos isn’t just going to stay there. It wastes a lot of energy if it doesn’t work and I think think santos would have defended every attempt. The loser of this is going to be so disappointed

Don't think Rakic needed to pick it up, when Santos is doing nothing. It was boring, but thats a 30-27 in a title eliminator.

Both Rakic and Santos are top level Light Heavyweights in the UFC, but their mutual respect for each other, combined with what was on the line tonight for the Winner led to a fairly uneventful bout... Rakic Wins it for me by either 29 - 28 or 30 - 27, as the Rounds were relatively close throughout... 🤔🤑🥊👊🧐👍
