Zubaira Tukhugov has officially signed with ACB JJ, with his debut for the jiu-jitsu promotion confirmed for July 6th.
Tukhugov, known by the nickname "Warrior," brings a professional MMA record of 20 wins, 6 losses, and 1 draw into his new chapter. The 35-year-old Russian, who trains out of Tiger Muay Thai, has competed as a featherweight and carries a reputation built over a lengthy career at the highest levels of the sport. Standing five-foot-eight with a 68-inch reach, he operates out of an orthodox stance and averages 3.17 significant strikes landed per minute, though his striking accuracy sits at 39 percent. He also contributes on the grappling side, averaging 2.13 takedowns per 15 minutes — a number that takes on added significance given the submission-focused nature of ACB JJ competition.
Why it matters
- Tukhugov's takedown volume makes him a natural fit for a jiu-jitsu promotion, where controlling opponents on the ground is central to the format.
- The move signals a new competitive direction for a veteran fighter with over two decades of professional experience across MMA.
- No opponent has been named for the July 6th debut, leaving the specifics of his first ACB JJ assignment still to be announced.
