Khadis Ibragimov debuts in ACA after rebuilding career following 0-4 UFC run

Khadis Ibragimov is praised as the best Russian fighter at career rehabilitation after leaving UFC with an 0-4 record in 2020. Since departing the promotion at age 24, Ibragimov has competed in 19 fights across various rulesets, compiling approximately a 13-3-3 record and reportedly increasing his fight purses by 4-5 times compared to his UFC earnings, now earning 5-6 million rubles per fight. He will make his ACA debut on April 12 against undefeated heavyweight Daniil Matsola (7-0), who is 12 kg lighter. The post notes that while other Russian UFC veterans like Armen Petrosyan, Ruslan Magomedov, and Gadzhimurad Antigulov struggled after leaving the promotion, Ibragimov has shown exceptional success in resurrecting his career, though his record against elite opposition remains inconsistent.
