ACA has officially confirmed two championship bouts for ACA 206, scheduled to take place in August, with title fights set for both the lightweight and heavyweight divisions.
The heavyweight title fight will see Alikhan Vakhaev square off against Iranian heavyweight Amir Aliakbari. Aliakbari, 42, trains out of AKA Thailand and carries a professional record of 10-1-0. Standing six-foot-three at 191 cm, he brings considerable size and experience to the contest. Verified striking and grappling volume figures are not available for Aliakbari at this time.
The lightweight championship will also be on the line at ACA 206, with Daud Shaikhaev set to challenge Bibert Tumenov. Full statistical profiles for Shaikhaev and Tumenov were not included in the confirmed data, so further detail on those fighters is limited ahead of the event.
Why it matters
- ACA 206 will crown or defend champions in two separate weight classes on the same card, making it one of the promotion's more significant events of the year.
- The heavyweight title bout pits Aliakbari's decade-plus of professional experience against Vakhaev in what shapes up as a marquee top-of-card matchup.
- The lightweight championship contest between Shaikhaev and Tumenov adds further divisional stakes to an already loaded evening for ACA.
No exact date or location within August has been specified by the promotion for ACA 206 at this time.
