Khadis Ibragimov, who left the UFC in 2020 with an 0-4 record over 13 months, has since rebuilt his career with approximately 13-3-3 across 19 fights under various rulesets. He claims his purses have increased four to five times compared to his UFC earnings, now earning an estimated 5-6 million rubles per fight. Ibragimov will make his ACA debut on April 12 against undefeated heavyweight Daniil Matsola (7-0), who will have a 12 kg weight advantage. The same card features Tony Johnson, who previously defeated Derrick Lewis, Tim Sylvia, and Alexander Volkov, facing Kirill Kornilov.
