Analysis: Khadis Ibragimov best Russian at career revival after UFC

An analysis piece highlighted Khadis Ibragimov as the best Russian fighter at reviving his career after UFC failure. After going 0-4 in UFC during 2020 and leaving at age 24 with an 8-4 record, Ibragimov has since compiled approximately 13-3-3 across 19 fights under various rule sets. He claims to have increased his purses 4-5 times compared to his UFC earnings, now reportedly making 5-6 million rubles per fight. The piece contrasted his post-UFC success with other Russian fighters who struggled after leaving the promotion. Ibragimov is set to make his ACA debut on April 12 against undefeated heavyweight Daniil Matsola (7-0). The analysis noted that while Ibragimov has been successful, he remains inconsistent against strong opposition.
