Doctor Explains Aleksandar Rakic's Knee Blowout vs. Jan Blachowicz at UFC Fight Night
Aleksander Rakic suffered a severe non-contact knee injury during UFC Fight Night against Jan Blachowicz. Dr. Brian Suter explains that Rakic's injury, likely an ACL tear, occurred despite the sport's contact-heavy nature. The injury was to Rakic's right leg, and detailed analysis shows the tibia (shin bone) displacing forward and then snapping back into place, which is indicative of an ACL tear. The video uses anatomical tools to explain how the ACL functions and why such injuries happen, especially in sports with sudden movements. Further medical examination, like an MRI, is needed to confirm the extent of the injury and rule out additional damage to the meniscus or other knee structures.
