A welterweight matchup between Artem Reznikov and Zaur Gadzhiev is reportedly in the works for ACA 205, according to an announcement made by Aslanbek Badaev during a live stream on his channel. The bout has not been officially confirmed, but is said to be targeted for July 17 in Almaty.
The report places Reznikov at 7-5 inside the ACA promotion, making this contest a return to action for him. His experience within the organization gives him a notable edge in promotional appearances over his prospective opponent.
Gadzhiev, by contrast, has gone 2-0 in ACA so far, carrying an unbeaten slate within the promotion into what would be a step up in competition if the fight comes together.
Why it matters
- The matchup pits an ACA veteran with significant promotional mileage against an unbeaten prospect within the organization.
- A July 17 date at ACA 205 in Almaty would give the event additional regional interest with both fighters active in the promotion.
- Because the announcement came through a third-party live stream rather than official ACA channels, the bout should be treated as unconfirmed until the promotion releases a formal card.
