Eduard Vartanyan stretched his remarkable unbeaten run to eleven straight victories by submitting Uzair Abdurakov in the third round at ACA 202, held in St. Petersburg on April 12, 2026.
Vartanyan has not tasted defeat since 2017, and this latest finish adds another chapter to one of the more sustained winning streaks in the promotion. The manner of victory — a third-round submission — suggests the contest had enough early competitiveness to carry into the championship rounds before Vartanyan found his finish.
For Abdurakov, the result extends a difficult stretch. The defeat dropped his ACA record to three wins and two losses, and it marked the second consecutive time he has been stopped by submission, pointing to a vulnerability on the ground that opponents have now exposed back to back.
Why it matters
- Vartanyan's eleven-fight winning streak, dating back to a last defeat in 2017, establishes him as one of ACA's most durable and consistent performers.
- Back-to-back submission losses place Abdurakov in a difficult position within the promotion, likely forcing a reassessment of his game before his next outing.
- A third-round finish indicates Abdurakov was competitive enough to survive the early exchanges, which underlines the depth of Vartanyan's finishing ability across full fights rather than just early stoppages.
