ACA 206 will feature two title fights when the Russian promotion stages its August card, headlined by a lightweight championship clash between Alihan Vakhaev and Amir Aliakbari. The heavyweight belt will also be on the line as Daud Shaikhaev faces Bibert Tumenov on the same night. An exact date and venue for the event have not been announced.
Amir Aliakbari enters the lightweight title fight with a record of 10 wins and 1 loss. The 42-year-old Iranian competes out of AKA Thailand and stands six-foot-three, or 191 cm. A veteran presence in the division, Aliakbari brings significant experience to the championship matchup against Vakhaev.
