Official weigh-in results for ACA 203 in Tashkent have been released, with two fighters failing to make weight ahead of the event scheduled to begin at 16:00 Moscow time.
The main card is headlined by a flyweight contest between Azam Gaforov and Aren Akopyan, with a middleweight bout between Faridun Odilov and Dauren Ermekov also featured in a prominent position on the card. The full event spans multiple weight classes, including heavyweight, lightweight, featherweight, and bantamweight matchups.
Two fighters could not hit their respective limits. Kholmurod Nurmatov came in at 58.7 kg, landing 1 kg over the flyweight limit of 57 kg. The more significant miss belonged to Shamil Boraev, who weighed 68.85 kg for a featherweight bout, exceeding the division's 66.8 kg limit by 2.05 kg. All other competitors on the card successfully made weight for their bouts.
Why it matters
- Nurmatov's 1 kg overage is a moderate miss that will likely trigger a financial penalty and could affect the bout's official status
- Boraev's 2.05 kg overage is a significant miss that puts his featherweight bout in jeopardy or forces it to proceed under special conditions
- With two weight failures on the same card, the integrity of two separate divisional matchups is in question ahead of the Tashkent event
