A rematch between Artyom Reznikov and Zaur Gadzhiev is being targeted for ACA 211, the Christmas Day card scheduled for December 25 in St. Petersburg, with ACA president Magomed Bibulatov confirming the development.
The two fighters previously shared the cage and walked away without a definitive result, their first meeting ending in a draw. That unresolved outcome has set the stage for a second bout aimed at settling the score between them.
Reznikov carries an ACA record of 7-5-1 inside the promotion, making him one of the more experienced fighters on the roster in terms of appearances. The draw on his ledger is the very result that sparked this rematch conversation.
Gadzhiev, meanwhile, holds an ACA record of 2-0-1, with that single draw also coming against Reznikov. His unbeaten run within the promotion adds an extra layer of stakes to the rematch, as both men can claim they have not been defeated by the other.
Why it matters
- The original draw left both fighters and fans without a clear answer, giving the rematch immediate narrative weight.
- A December 25 date on ACA 211 places the bout on one of the promotion's marquee holiday events in its home market.
- Bibulatov's personal confirmation signals the organization views this as a meaningful matchup rather than a routine booking.
