Quick read
Jailton Almeida joined Russian promotion ACA's heavyweight division just a week after UFC release, announced Saturday. He declined offers from PFL, RIZIN, KSW, Oktagon, and a last-minute MVP deal to face Junior dos Santos on the Ronda Rousey-Gina Carano Netflix card May 16. Almeida, 22-5 with eight UFC wins, eyes light heavyweight drop after losses to Alexander Volkov and Riz Kuniev. This move bolsters ACA while highlighting UFC's roster cuts. Matters for heavyweights: Frees spots for prospects. Expect debut scheduling soon, potentially at 205 pounds.
