ACA will return to Krasnodar on September 12. The main event of ACA 207 at Basket Hall Arena will feature former ACA champion Evgeny Goncharov against former UFC top-10 heavyweight Jailton Almeida.

Krasnodar holds a special place in Goncharov’s career. It was there that the Russian heavyweight twice captured the ACA championship, defeating Tony Johnson and Alikhan Vakhaev. Goncharov currently holds a professional record of 23-3 and is riding an eight-fight winning streak.

The upcoming bout will mark Almeida’s ACA debut. The Brazilian competed 11 times in the UFC, earning eight victories, and holds notable wins over Derrick Lewis, Jairzinho Rozenstruik, Alexander Romanov and Serghei Spivac. Almeida has recorded 22 professional victories, with 21 coming by stoppage.

ACA 207 will deliver a clash between one of Russia’s strongest heavyweights and a recent member of the UFC elite. The event will also feature a host of ACA stars, with more bouts to be announced in the coming weeks.

ACA 207 takes place on September 12 at Basket Hall Arena in Krasnodar. Stay tuned for further announcements and card updates.
