An analysis piece highlighted Khadis Ibragimov as the best Russian fighter at career rehabilitation after UFC failure. After going 0-4 in UFC in 2020, dropping from 8-0 to 8-4, Ibragimov has since compiled approximately 13-3-3 across 19 fights under various rule sets and claims his purses have increased four to five times compared to his UFC earnings, now earning an estimated 5-6 million rubles per fight. He makes his ACA debut on April 12 against undefeated Daniil Matsola (7-0), who is 12 kg lighter. The same card features Tony Johnson, who previously defeated Derrick Lewis, Tim Sylvia, and Alexander Volkov, facing Kirill Kornilov. The event begins at 16:30 local time.
