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

Khadis Ibragimov is highlighted as the best Russian fighter at reviving his career after leaving the UFC. He departed the promotion in 2020 with an 0-4 record over 13 months, falling from 8-0 to 8-4 at age 24. Since then, he has compiled approximately a 13-3-3 record across 19 fights under various rulesets and claims to have increased his purses four to five times compared to his UFC earnings, now reportedly making 5-6 million rubles per fight. Ibragimov makes his ACA debut on April 12 against undefeated heavyweight Daniil Matsola (7-0), who is 12 kg lighter. The analysis notes that while Ibragimov has been successful post-UFC, he remains inconsistent against strong opposition. The card also features Tony Johnson, who has defeated Derrick Lewis, Tim Sylvia, and Alexander Volkov, facing Kirill Kornilov.
