Anton Vinnikov and Arash Sadeqi fought to a majority draw at ACA 207 on September 12, 2026, with the three judges scoring the bout 28-28, 30-27, and 29-27 in a split of opinions that prevented either man from claiming victory.
The contest was not without controversy. Vinnikov was deducted a point in the second round for grabbing the fence, a penalty that factored into the uneven scorecards and denied him what would have been a tenth consecutive win.
Despite the deduction, the result does extend Vinnikov's unbeaten run to ten fights — nine victories and now one draw. His overall record moves to 19-5-1, and he has not suffered a defeat since October 2020, a streak that now spans nearly six years. The draw keeps that run intact while leaving questions about how the fight might have been scored without the point deduction.
For Sadeqi, the result is a creditable one against a fighter with Vinnikov's experience and durability. His record now stands at 5-2-1, and a draw against an opponent of this caliber represents a meaningful result at this stage of his career.
Why it matters
- Vinnikov's decade-long unbeaten streak remains alive, cementing his standing as one of the more consistent performers on the ACA roster
- The fence-grab deduction in round two directly influenced at least one scorecard and adds a layer of controversy to the outcome
- Sadeqi avoids a second consecutive loss and gains valuable rounds against seasoned opposition
- Both fighters will likely need a decisive result in their next outing to build momentum from a night that satisfied neither fully
