Viktor Azatyan was unable to make weight due to a health issue, forcing the cancellation of his scheduled bout against Serik Razgaliev at ACA 205. Additionally, Artyom Reznikov and Bagdos Olzhabay both exceeded their respective weight-class limits and will each pay financial penalties to their opponents in accordance with league regulations.
Two bouts at ACA 205 were thrown into disarray at the event's official weigh-ins on July 16, with one contest cancelled outright and two fighters facing financial penalties for missing weight.
Viktor Azatyan's fight against Serik Razgaliev was called off entirely after Azatyan was unable to make weight due to a reported health issue. Rather than proceeding under a catch-weight arrangement, the promotion opted to pull the bout from the card altogether.
Separately, Artyom Reznikov and Bagdos Olzhabay each came in over the limit for their respective weight classes. Neither contest was cancelled, but both fighters will be required to pay financial penalties to their opponents as outlined under ACA's standard league regulations.
Why it matters
- A health-related weight miss leading to a full cancellation is relatively uncommon and leaves Razgaliev without a scheduled appearance on the card.
- Reznikov and Olzhabay avoiding outright cancellation suggests their bouts may still proceed, though the circumstances surrounding each contest remain affected.
- Back-to-back weigh-in failures at the same event raise questions about weight management practices within the promotion heading into the second half of 2026.
