Khadis Ibragimov is being praised as the best Russian fighter at career rehabilitation after rebounding from a disastrous 0-4 UFC run in 2020. The article notes that Ibragimov left the UFC at age 24 with an 8-4 record after going winless in 13 months during the pandemic year, seemingly facing complete career collapse. However, since departing the UFC, Ibragimov has compiled an impressive 13-3-3 record across 19 fights under various rulesets and increased his purses by 4-5 times compared to his UFC earnings, now making approximately 5-6 million rubles per fight. The analysis compares his post-UFC success favorably to other Russian fighters who struggled after leaving the promotion, including Armen Petrosyan, Ruslan Magomedov, and Gadzhimurad Antigulov. Ibragimov makes his ACA debut on April 12 against undefeated heavyweight Daniil Matsola (7-0), who will have a 12kg weight advantage.
