Pre-fight analysis — how we saw it going in
Case for Rakić
Rakić remains the cleaner athlete and the harder single-shot puncher, with a 71% finish rate and an 86% takedown defence that should keep this standing. Tybura was knocked out by Ante Delija in just over two minutes in September 2025, so the finish is there even on Rakić's first trip to heavyweight.
Case for Tybura
Tybura is the more durable and more experienced man at 27-11, with a 1.30 takedown average that gives him a path Rakić has struggled to answer. Rakić has lost four in a row and been stopped by strikes twice in that run; if Tybura can make it a grinding, clinch-heavy fight, the older man has the better engine.
What We Were Watching For
- Rakić's leg kicks — historically his best weapon, and Tybura's base depends on his stance.
- Takedowns; Tybura lands 1.30 per fifteen minutes against Rakić's 86% takedown defence.
- Whether either man shows the chin damage of a combined six recent losses.
- Pace after round two — Rakić is 34, Tybura 40, and neither has finished a fight late recently.
