Khadis Ibragimov debuts in ACA against undefeated Daniil Matsola on April 12

Khadis Ibragimov is set to make his ACA debut on April 12 against undefeated heavyweight Daniil Matsola (7-0), who weighs 12kg less than Ibragimov. Since leaving the UFC in 2020 with an 0-4 record over 13 months, Ibragimov has competed 19 times across various rulesets, compiling approximately a 13-3-3 record and reportedly increasing his fight purses four to five times compared to his UFC earnings, now allegedly making 5-6 million rubles per bout. The analyst notes that while Ibragimov has rebuilt his career better than most Russian fighters who struggled post-UFC, he remains inconsistent against top-level opposition. The ACA 202 event begins at 16:30 Moscow time.
