An analyst credits Khadis Ibragimov as the best Russian fighter at reviving his career after UFC struggles. Ibragimov left the UFC in 2020 with an 0-4 record over 13 months, dropping from 8-0 to 8-4. Since then, he has competed 19 times under various rulesets, compiling approximately 13-3-3 and reportedly increasing his earnings four to five times compared to his UFC pay, now earning an estimated 5-6 million rubles per fight. His ACA debut on April 12 against undefeated Daniil Matsola (7-0) represents a significant test, as the post notes Ibragimov has been inconsistent against strong opposition. The event also features Tony Johnson, who has defeated Derrick Lewis, Tim Sylvia, and Alexander Volkov, facing Kirill Kornilov.
