The image is agonizing! The Austrian Aleksandar rakic won't take away good memories UFC Las Vegas 54, held this Saturday (14). The fighter, who put on a good fight against the former champion Jan Blachowicz, in the main attraction of the event, suffered a sprained knee when he placed his leg on the Octagon. The movement of the joint is reminiscent of the injury suffered by striker Ronaldo in 2000, when playing for Inter Milan.

In the images (see below), it is possible to see the exact moment Rakic feels the injury. With an expression of pain, the fighter immediately went to the ground and appeared unable to continue in the dispute.
Noticing his opponent's condition, Blachowicz didn't even attack his opponent. Just like the Pole, the referee wasted no time and immediately stopped the clash.
Jan's triumph marked the athlete's first positive result since losing the light heavyweight (up to 93kg) belt. In his last performance, the Pole ended up submitting for Glover Teixeira and ended up dethroned.
Current number three in the category, Rakic was taking part in the clash that could bring him closer to his dream fight for the title. The Austrian, however, momentarily said goodbye to a possible commitment against the champion.
