Was the last fight a controversial stoppage? If not idk why it’s being run back
Maciel vs. Dudaev
Abdul-Rakhman Dudaev, TKO, R1
Dudaev is one of the most fun guys in ACA imo. Originally a grappler, he has fallen in love with his hands & gets some of the most absurd ko’s. Like he just hits all the spinning ****; should be another highlight here
Misikov vs. Elmurzaev
Akhmadkhan Elmurzaev, SUB, R1
Elmurzaev is really good. He trains out of Allstars & has a dominant grappling game. He was winning his last fight pretty clearly before getting caught in a sub. Should be an easy bounce back

Gadzhidaudov vs. Slipenko
Ustarmagomed Gadzhidaudov, DEC
Ustarmagomed Gadzhidaudov possesses a strong wrestling background and has demonstrated his skills in controlling opponents on the ground. His recent move to the welterweight division has seen him maintain an impressive winning streak, with notable victories over tough opponents. Gadzhidaudov's ability to execute well-timed takedowns and his solid wrestling control will likely play a significant role in this fight. Additionally, he has shown decent striking skills, utilizing his jab and kicks effectively. While he may have a relatively low output in terms of strikes, Gadzhidaudov's ability to outmaneuver his opponents and capitalize on their mistakes has been evident in his past performances. Against Vitaly Slipenko, who tends to focus on flashy strikes, Gadzhidaudov's strong wrestling base and solid striking defense will allow him to control the fight. It is expected that Gadzhidaudov will secure takedowns, maintain top control, and deliver ground and pound to accumulate points throughout the fight, ultimately leading to a decision victory.
Suleymanov vs. Omarov
Alikhan Suleymanov, SUB, R3
Alikhan Suleymanov has shown tremendous grappling skills throughout his career, with all of his wins coming by way of submission. His ability to secure chokes and his incredible grip strength have been key factors in his victories. Suleymanov has also displayed excellent transitional skills, swiftly moving from dominant positions to submissions, particularly the D'arce choke. His nine-win streak against elite competition demonstrates his ability to handle top-level opponents. On the other hand, while Islam Omarov has an undefeated record and has displayed fluid and creative transitions, he has relied more on decision victories rather than finishing his opponents. Suleymanov's strength in the grappling department, along with his proven track record of finishing fights, suggests that he will be able to control Omarov on the ground and eventually secure a submission victory, most likely in the third round.
Taygibov vs. Laurentino
Kurban Taygibov, DEC
Kurban Taygibov has showcased his skills as a well-rounded fighter with a strong background in sambo and wrestling. Although he had a rough start to his professional career, he bounced back with an impressive regional winning streak, demonstrating his ability to grind out victories via decision. In his ACA debut, Taygibov displayed his wrestling prowess by securing takedowns and controlling his opponent against the fence, although he didn't inflict significant damage. His accuracy with strikes, particularly overhand rights, was evident in his knockout victory in the first round against T15 Silva. Additionally, he has shown improvements in his striking accuracy, which was evident in his win against T25 wrestler Makashvili, where he maintained control on the fence and utilized ground and pound effectively. With his experience and ability to control the fight, it is likely that Kurban Taygibov will utilize his wrestling skills to secure takedowns, control the pace of the fight, and ultimately win via decision. L
Baidulaev vs. Musakaev
Mehdi Baidulaev, SUB, R3
Mehdi Baidulaev enters this bantamweight bout with an impressive track record, boasting a 13-2 career record with notable wins in the ACA and ACA/B organizations. While primarily competing at featherweight, Baidulaev made a successful drop to bantamweight in his last fight, utilizing his strong wrestling skills to secure a decision victory over a tough Brazilian veteran. Baidulaev showcased his grappling prowess in that fight, dedicating himself to dominant top control and unleashing punishing ground and pound, including heavy elbows from mount and effective strikes from half-guard. His ability to consistently pass guard and maintain control positions demonstrated his technical ground game and positional awareness. Akhmed Musakaev, on the other hand, has shown a solid skill set as a Dagestani sambo grappler, with an impressive 5-1 record in the ACA. He has displayed excellent mat returns and control using his body lock, as well as effective knee strikes to keep his opponents busy. Musakaev's ground game transitions are smooth, allowing him to stay safe and dominate from top guard, utilizing short shots and smothering his opponents with superior grappling skills. While both fighters possess strong grappling abilities, Baidulaev's experience and success at the higher weight class, coupled with his recent drop to bantamweight, give him an edge in terms of size and strength. Baidulaev's track record of finishes, particularly his proficiency in securing rear-naked chokes, is a testament to his submission skills. Given his effective ground and pound and dominant control from top positions, it is likely that Baidulaev will find opportunities to take Musakaev's back and secure a rear-naked choke submission. The third round seems like a plausible timeframe for Baidulaev to capitalize on his grappling advantage and secure the victory, as he wears down Musakaev with his relentless pressure and ground attack.
Shakhbulatov vs. Vitruk
Shamil Shakhbulatov, SUB, R3
Shamil Shakhbulatov possesses a well-rounded skill set, with a long and competitive career in the ACB/ACA organization. He has displayed excellent submission defense and quality striking in his fights, landing powerful shots, particularly in the third round. Shakhbulatov has showcased his proficiency in various submission techniques, including armbars, front-headlock chokes, gillys, and triangles. Although he has struggled against strong wrestlers in terms of control on the fence and ground, his ability to survive and escape unfavorable positions is commendable. His late triangle submission win over a top-15 opponent demonstrated his resilience and submission acumen. On the other hand, Pavel Vitruk is a strong striker with a solid record, but his grappling abilities have been exploited by elite wrestlers in the past. While he has displayed good hip movement and recovery from knockdowns, Shakhbulatov's submission threats and control on the ground will likely pose significant challenges for Vitruk. Considering Shakhbulatov's well-rounded skill set, experience, and his tendency to excel in the later rounds, it is probable that he will secure a submission victory over Pavel Vitruk, possibly in the third round.
Askarov vs. Kerefov
Askar Askarov, DEC
Askar Askarov has established himself as a dominant force in the bantamweight division with his exceptional wrestling skills and versatile submission game. As the former ACB champion, he has demonstrated his ability to control opponents on the ground and secure impressive victories. Despite starting his UFC career with three decision wins, Askarov has consistently showcased his grappling prowess, dominating opponents with takedowns and maintaining control throughout the fight. His wrestling expertise and wide array of submission techniques make him a formidable opponent for anyone in the division. On the other hand, Azamat Kerefov may have an unblemished record and a judo base that adds to his wrestling credentials, but he is relatively new to the UFC and has faced lesser-known opponents. While he has displayed explosive athleticism and effective grappling, it remains to be seen if he can maintain the same level of success against a high-caliber fighter like Askarov. Kerefov's measured forward pressure and clean striking may pose some challenges, but Askarov's experience and well-rounded skill set should allow him to neutralize Kerefov's offense and take control of the fight. Given Askarov's track record and his ability to impose his wrestling and submission game on opponents, it is highly likely that he will dictate the pace of the fight and secure a victory by unanimous decision. As the fight progresses into the later rounds, Askarov's conditioning and relentless pressure will likely wear down Kerefov, allowing him to dominate the grappling exchanges and accumulate points on the judges' scorecards. Therefore, Askar Askarov is favored to win this bout in the fifth round by unanimous decision.
Kishev vs. Batista
Ramazan Kishev, DEC
Ramazan Kishev has showcased his grappling skills throughout his career, with a background as a Caucus wrestler. Although he experienced a setback in a title shot against Frodo in ACA, Kishev has consistently demonstrated his ability to control his opponents on the ground. He has a record of finishing fights over tough opponents and has shown resilience in his fights. Kishev has displayed effective takedown defense and has the capability to dictate the pace of the fight against opponents who prefer to strike. His striking technique is solid, with quick punches and powerful kicks. With his experience and ability to maintain control on the ground, it is likely that Ramazan Kishev will be able to utilize his wrestling and ground game to secure a victory over Henderson Batista. The fight is expected to go the distance, with Kishev winning by unanimous decision in the third round.
Maciel vs. Dudaev
Francisco Maciel, SUB, R2
Although Francisco Maciel has had a mixed record in his recent fights, he possesses a wealth of experience as a veteran grappler. Maciel has showcased his proficiency in chokes, which could be a significant advantage in this matchup. While Abdul-Rakhman Dudaev has shown speed and movement in his fights, his record suggests a tendency towards decision victories rather than knockout power. Maciel's ability to capitalize on his opponent's grappling weaknesses could prove to be a deciding factor in this bout. With his good start in RUS and solid performances in the ACA, Maciel has demonstrated a knack for capitalizing on wrestling exchanges and finishing fights. Considering his expertise in chokes and the fact that Dudaev has been susceptible to being finished in the past, it is plausible to expect that Maciel will utilize his grappling skills to secure a submission victory, likely in the second round.
Dzhabrailov vs. Silva
Saifulla Dzhabrailov, TKO, R3
Saifulla Dzhabrailov has an impressive record with a strong track record of either winning by decision or securing quick knockouts. His only loss in the past five years came against Froes, indicating his ability to perform consistently. In his debut with Naiza, Dzhabrailov showcased his punching power, dispatching his opponent within 30 seconds. He possesses excellent kick-catching skills, and his takedowns are accompanied by hard punches, followed by effective mat returns using body lock throws. Dzhabrailov's hip flexibility and core strength enable him to reverse opponents' takedowns, displaying his grappling prowess. His control from top positions, especially in the guard, is formidable, allowing him to strike while maintaining dominance. Although he occasionally starts with wild hooks, he excels in delivering calculated blitzes, as demonstrated in the later rounds. Additionally, Dzhabrailov's ability to regain control and mount his opponents late in the fight signifies his resilience and determination. With a powerful overhand right in the fourth round, he secured a knockout victory, highlighting his knockout potential. As the Naiza FC champion and currently riding a four-win streak, Dzhabrailov's experience and skill set make him a strong contender in the featherweight division. Given his history of finishing fights and overall proficiency in striking and ground control, it is likely that Saifulla Dzhabrailov will overpower Cleverson Silva, securing a TKO victory, possibly in the third round.
Ustarmagomed Gadzhidaudov, DEC
Ustarmagomed Gadzhidaudov possesses a strong wrestling background and has demonstrated his skills in controlling opponents on the ground.

Slipenko looks a bit stronger than Gadzhidaudov, judging by the predictions and reviews of this fight, for example https://scores24.live/en/mma/m-lm-21-07-2023-lm-vitali-slipenko-lm-ustarmagomed-gadzhidaudov-prediction / .
Right now the odds on Slipenko winning are 1.46, but I think that's a strong exaggeration. I would bet if the odds were 1.8 - that's a more realistic chance.
The fight is today, finally!
