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. The Russian fighter claims his purses have increased 4-5 times compared to his UFC earnings, now reportedly earning 5-6 million rubles per fight. On April 12, Ibragimov makes his ACA debut against undefeated heavyweight Daniil Matsola (7-0), who weighs 12 kg less. The post highlights Ibragimov as the best Russian fighter at career rehabilitation based on UFC performance versus post-UFC success, comparing him favorably to other Russian UFC veterans. The same ACA 202 card features Tony Johnson, who previously defeated Derrick Lewis, Tim Sylvia, and Alexander Volkov, facing Kirill Kornilov.
