Zhora Ayvazyan extended one of the sport's more impressive active streaks on Friday, outpointing Yusup Zubariev by unanimous decision at ACA 206, with all three judges scoring the contest 30-27 in his favor.
The victory pushed Ayvazyan's professional record to 18-1 and stretched his winning streak to nine consecutive fights. It also marks his third win inside the Absolute Championship Akhmat promotion, underlining his growing status within the organization. A 30-27 sweep on all three cards speaks to the one-sided nature of the performance, leaving little room for debate at the scorecards.
Zubariev, who entered the bout carrying a two-fight winning streak, now stands at 16-5-1 after the setback. He had shown recent momentum inside ACA, but Ayvazyan proved to be a step above on the night, systematically closing out each round to secure the wide decision.
Why it matters
- Ayvazyan's nine-fight winning streak places him among the more compelling prospects in the ACA roster, and a third promotional win strengthens his case for higher-profile matchups.
- The 30-27 shutout suggests Ayvazyan controlled the fight from start to finish, which could draw attention from matchmakers looking to test him at the next level.
- Zubariev's two-fight streak is snapped, meaning he will likely need a bounce-back performance to maintain his position in the divisional pecking order within ACA.
