ACA 202, held in St. Petersburg on April 13, 2026, set a new attendance record for the promotion in Russia's second-largest city, drawing more than 6,500 spectators to the event.
The previous high-water mark for an ACA card in St. Petersburg stood at 5,500 fans, set at ACA 93. The latest turnout surpassed that figure by at least 1,000 attendees, marking a notable milestone for the organization in a market it has continued to invest in.
Why it matters
- The record crowd signals growing mainstream appetite for MMA in St. Petersburg, one of Russia's most prominent sporting cities.
- Surpassing the ACA 93 benchmark by roughly 18 percent suggests the promotion's local fanbase has expanded meaningfully over the intervening events.
- Bonus awards were reported at the event, though specific details were not confirmed at the time of publication.
The result positions St. Petersburg as one of ACA's stronger regional draws and adds momentum to the promotion's efforts to build consistent live event audiences across Russia.
