Aleksandar Rakic took to Instagram to speak out after the loss and ask for a rematch once he's able to return. The UFC light heavyweight explained the situation and also revealed he had suffered an injury during his training camp.

“A great battle took place in the octogan tonight but unfortunately it ended not the way Jan and I or the fans wanted. The same damn injury from 3 weeks ago in camp showed up again tonight. I felt I won both rounds, round one being close but round two was just mine then I opened up really good even in the third before my knee buckled. Knowing the fact that my cardio was off the chart ( with a heart beat at 36 in sleep ) I would start to picking him apart from third round on but it is what it is. Congratulation to Jan and I wish him the best. I will take care of this injury and come back like you never seen me before.

“This is a unfinished fight between Jan and I and I really hope @ufc gives me a REMATCH .”
