Abdul-Rakham Dudaev
Fighting out of Grozny, Abdul-Rakhman Dudaev debuted in ACA promotion in 2016 and has earned a respectable record of 13-6 since then. Dudaev went back to WFCA between 2017-2018 but returned after just a year. Dudaev turned pro in 2012 and has over forty pro fights, winning most of them by either submissions or decisions. Four years ago, Dudaev lost to Daniel Oliveira de Almeida in a failed bid to win the ACA bantamweight championship. The Russian started well and had Daniel Oliveira de Almeida on the defense with a series of spinning shots. A bit of overconfidence and eagerness to bag the finish exposed Dudaev to a right hand from Oliveira that changed the trajectory of the bout.

Daniel Almeida
At 37, the Brazilian, a former ACA bantamweight champion is not the force he once was. Daniel Oliveira de Almeida arrives against Dudaev having lost his last three fights and with one win in six, going back to the loss of the bantamweight gold in 2021 to Rustam Kerimov. Daniel Oliveira de Almeida won the title in early 2020 with a decision over Shamil Shakhbulatov before successfully defending it with a made for TV stepping knee to Dudaev’s mid-section that folded the challenger. Under pressure from Dudaev in the opening rounds, de Almeida connected right overhand in the second round that dropped “The Warrior”. The Brazilian then took the initiative before securing the finish with a knee in the third round.
