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

An analysis piece highlighted Khadis Ibragimov as the best Russian fighter at reviving his career after UFC failure. He left UFC in 2020 with an 0-4 record over 13 months, going from 8-0 to 8-4. Since then, he has compiled approximately 13-3-3 across 19 fights under various rulesets and claims to have increased his purses 4-5 times compared to UFC, now earning an estimated 5-6 million rubles per fight. The post notes that while he has rebuilt well, he remains inconsistent against strong opposition. Ibragimov is set to make his ACA debut on April 12 against undefeated heavyweight Daniil Matsola (7-0), who is 12kg lighter. The card also features Tony Johnson, who has beaten Derrick Lewis, Tim Sylvia, and Alexander Volkov, fighting Kirill Kornilov.
