ACA promotion has announced two championship bouts scheduled for ACA 206 in August. The event will feature title fights in both the lightweight and heavyweight divisions. Alikhan Vakhaev will face Amir Aliakbari in the heavyweight title bout, while Daud Shaikhaev will take on Bibert Tumenov for the lightweight championship.

ACA has confirmed two title fights for ACA 206, scheduled to take place in August, with championship gold on the line in both the heavyweight and lightweight divisions.
In the heavyweight main event, Alikhan Vakhaev will square off against Amir Aliakbari. The Iranian heavyweight is 42 years old, stands six-foot-three (191 cm), and carries a professional record of 10-1-0. He trains out of AKA Thailand, giving him access to one of the sport's more decorated combat sports camps. Aliakbari's lone professional loss sits against an otherwise strong resume heading into what would be a significant title opportunity.
No verified data is currently available in the AgentMMA database for Vakhaev or for the lightweight combatants, Daud Shaikhaev and Bibert Tumenov, so detailed breakdowns of those fighters are not included here.
The co-main event will see Shaikhaev challenge Tumenov for the lightweight championship, meaning ACA 206 is positioned to crown champions at two separate weight classes on the same night.
Why it matters
- ACA 206 will simultaneously settle championship questions in the heavyweight and lightweight divisions, making it one of the more consequential cards in the promotion's recent calendar
- Aliakbari's international profile and experience bring added attention to the heavyweight title picture
- Specific date and venue details for the August event have not yet been announced by the promotion
