Khadis Ibragimov makes ACA debut after rebuilding career post-UFC

Khadis Ibragimov is making his ACA debut on April 12 after successfully rebuilding his career following a difficult UFC run. The Russian fighter went 0-4 in UFC during 2020, leaving the promotion at age 24 with an 8-4 record. Since then, he has competed in approximately 19 fights across various rulesets, posting roughly a 13-3-3 record and reportedly increasing his fight purses by 4-5 times compared to his UFC earnings, now making an estimated 5-6 million rubles per bout. His first ACA fight will be against undefeated heavyweight Daniil Matsola (7-0), who is 12 kg lighter. The analysis notes Ibragimov has been inconsistent against strong opposition despite his post-UFC success.
