ACA has announced that its 206th event, scheduled for August, will be headlined by two championship bouts — one at lightweight and one at heavyweight — though no specific date or location has been confirmed.
In the lightweight title fight, Alikhan Vakhaev will square off against Amir Aliakbari. The 42-year-old Iranian fighter, who trains out of AKA Thailand, carries a record of 10-1-0 into the contest. Standing six-foot-three and measuring 191 cm, Aliakbari brings notable size to the lightweight division. A bout at this weight class would represent a significant opportunity for the veteran to add a world title to his resume.
The heavyweight championship will be contested between Daud Shaikhaev and Bibert Tumenov, with both fighters competing for gold at the top of the weight scale.
Why it matters
- Both bouts are title fights, meaning ACA 206 will crown new champions in two separate weight classes on the same card.
- Aliakbari's height and frame are unusual assets at lightweight, making the stylistic matchup with Vakhaev an intriguing contrast.
- ACA continues to build its championship picture across multiple divisions simultaneously, raising the stakes for the August event.
