Standing six-foot-three and measuring 191 cm, he brings considerable size to the division. Verified striking and grappling volume figures are not available for Aliakbari at this time.
The co-headlining championship contest will see Daud Shaikhaev defend or contest the ACA heavyweight title against Bibert Tumenov. Detailed statistical and biographical data for Shaikhaev and Tumenov were not included in the initial announcement.
