Khadis Ibragimov, who left UFC in 2020 with an 0-4 record over 13 months, has rebuilt his career across 19 fights under various rulesets, compiling approximately 13-3-3 while reportedly increasing his fight purse to 5-6 million rubles per bout. He makes his ACA debut on April 12 against undefeated heavyweight Daniil Matsola (7-0), who enters 12 kg lighter. The same card features Tony Johnson, who previously defeated Derrick Lewis, Tim Sylvia, and Alexander Volkov, facing Kirill Kornilov. Ibragimov's post-UFC resurgence stands out compared to other Russian fighters who struggled after leaving the promotion, though his record against top-tier opposition remains inconsistent.
