Hadis Ibragimov is being praised as the best Russian fighter at reviving his career after leaving the UFC. After departing the promotion in 2020 with an 0-4 record over 13 months, Ibragimov has since compiled approximately 13-3-3 across 19 fights under various rulesets and reportedly increased his purse by four to five times compared to his UFC earnings. He now allegedly earns 5-6 million rubles per fight. Ibragimov debuts in ACA on April 12 against undefeated heavyweight Daniil Matsola (7-0), who is 12 kg lighter. The card also features Tony Johnson, who previously defeated Derrick Lewis, Tim Sylvia, and Alexander Volkov, facing Kirill Kornilov.
