Khadis Ibragimov debuts in ACA after rebuilding career following UFC struggles

Khadis Ibragimov is highlighted as the best Russian fighter at career rehabilitation after leaving UFC with a 0-4 record in 2020. Since departing UFC at age 24, Ibragimov has compiled approximately 13-3-3 across 19 fights under various rule sets and reportedly increased his purse 4-5 times compared to his UFC earnings, now making an estimated 5-6 million rubles per fight. He makes his ACA debut on April 12 against undefeated heavyweight Daniil Matsola (7-0). The post contrasts his success with other Russian fighters who struggled after leaving UFC, noting only a few like Rashid Magomedov and Albert Tumenov found similar success. The author notes that despite Ibragimov's resurgence, he has been inconsistent against strong opposition.
