The main event of ACA 206 will feature the ACA Heavyweight Championship bout, as reigning champion Alikhan Vakhaev defends his title against the division’s No. 2 contender, Amir Aliakbari.
Vakhaev captured the championship in the fall of 2025 at ACA 195, defeating Kirill Kornilov by unanimous decision after five rounds. Prior to that, he earned victories over Tony Johnson and Yuri Fyodorov.
The champion enters the bout with a professional record of 15-3. Seven of his wins have come by knockout, one by submission, and seven by decision. Notably, Vakhaev has never been knocked out in his professional career.
Aliakbari secured his title shot after back-to-back victories following his return to ACA. In the summer of 2025, the Iranian heavyweight stopped Salimgerey Rasulov before defeating Tony Johnson later that year.
The challenger owns a 16-4 professional record, with 11 victories by knockout. His clash with Vakhaev will pit one of the promotion’s most well-rounded heavyweights against one of the division’s most dangerous knockout artists.
ACA 206 will take place on August 15 at CSKA Arena in Moscow. Tickets are available on the league's official website.
