A lightweight matchup between Artem Reznikov and Zaur Gadzhiev is reportedly being put together for ACA 205, according to a report that has not yet received official confirmation from the promotion.
Streamer Aslanbek Badaev announced on his channel that sources have told him the bout is being finalized for July 17, with the event set to take place in Almaty, Kazakhstan. ACA has not publicly confirmed the booking, and the fight should be treated as unverified until the promotion makes an official announcement.
Within ACA, Reznikov carries a 7-5 promotional record, giving him a seasoned profile inside the organization. Gadzhiev, by contrast, is unbeaten through two appearances in the promotion, going 2-0 since joining ACA's roster.
Why it matters
- Reznikov's experience inside the promotion gives him a significant edge in familiarity with ACA competition, while Gadzhiev's undefeated promotional run keeps him in contention for bigger opportunities.
- A Gadzhiev loss would represent a notable step back, whereas a win over the more experienced Reznikov could push him toward a title conversation.
- The fight is set against the backdrop of ACA 205 in Almaty, one of the promotion's marquee Central Asian markets.
No further details about the fighters' broader records, rankings, or physical attributes were available in verified data at the time of this report.
