Aslanbek Kodzoev opened proceedings with a unanimous decision victory over Alexander Grebnev, grinding out the win across the full duration of their contest. Kaio Bittencourt was more emphatic, submitting Artem Dushenko with a leg lock inside the first round to earn a swift finish. Altynbek Mamashov matched that urgency, knocking out Ivan Bogdanov in the opening frame to give the prelims three stoppages.
Elias Silverio, the 39-year-old Brazilian veteran fighting out of his own team, also picked up a win on the night. The orthodox striker stands five-foot-eleven with a 73-inch reach and brings a measured, well-rounded game to the cage, averaging 3.67 significant strikes per minute at 49 percent accuracy while also threatening opponents on the mat with 1.62 takedown attempts per 15 minutes. His record now sits at 13-3-0.
Oleg Dadonov rounded out the decision winners, outpointing Lincoln Henrique across the full fight. Khafiz Sakibekov took a different route to victory, stopping Daniel Jubileu in round three after the Brazilian picked up a leg injury, earning the TKO finish.
Why it matters
- Bittencourt and Mamashov both secured first-round finishes, signaling momentum heading into the main card scene at ACA.
- Sakibekov's third-round TKO via leg injury adds a finish to his record without requiring a knockout or submission in the traditional sense.
- Silverio, at 39, remains competitive and pushes his professional record to a winning mark, keeping his veteran presence relevant in the ACA lightweight or featherweight ranks.
