Quick read
Jailton Almeida joined Russian promotion ACA's heavyweight division on February 21, 2026, shortly after departing the UFC following a loss at UFC Vegas 113. He declined offers from PFL, RIZIN, KSW, Oktagon, and a one-fight deal against Junior dos Santos on the Ronda Rousey vs. Gina Carano Netflix card on May 16. Almeida may drop to light heavyweight and has a four-fight deal with ACA, with no debut scheduled yet. This move impacts the heavyweight free agency landscape. Expect his ACA debut soon to rebuild momentum.
