Aleksandar Rakic claims he was "sucker-punched" by former opponent Jimi Manuwa when the pair crossed paths at UFC London.
Rakic, who brutally knocked out Manuwa in the Brit's final UFC fight three years ago, was in the English capital as a guest fighter for last weekend's event. The Austrian claimed that after the event finished at The O2 arena, he crossed paths with his former foe Manuwa when leaving his seat. Rakic claimed that Manuwa approached him from behind and punched him, but missed his head and instead connected with his neck.
“Jimi Manuwa, you piece of s***. You son of a b****. What a p**** move you did last night on me. Guys, I would just let you know that after the event at UFC London, the security was escorting me to the transfer back to the hotel, and ‘Mr. Still Sleep’ was sitting in my row at the end of the row, so I needed to pass by," Rakic explained.
