ACA has officially announced two championship bouts for ACA 206, slated for August, with both the lightweight and heavyweight titles set to be decided on the same card.
In the lightweight division, Alikhan Vakhaev will face Amir Aliakbari for the title. Aliakbari, 42, is a heavyweight contender from Iran who trains out of AKA Thailand and carries an impressive professional record of 10 wins and just one loss. Standing six-foot-three and measuring 191 cm, the Iranian brings a physically imposing frame to the cage.
The heavyweight championship will also be on the line, with champion Daud Shaikhaev putting his title at risk against Bibert Tumenov in what figures to be a significant test for the reigning titleholder.

- The heavyweight championship defence adds further prestige to the card alongside the lightweight title bout
- Aliakbari's 10-1 record makes him a credible challenger and a notable name entering lightweight title contention
- A specific date and venue for ACA 206 have yet to be confirmed by the promotion
