On December 23rd the ACA 150 tournament will take place at the CSKA Arena with a crowd of thousands. The ACA 150 tournament will feature a battle between Russian Khusein Khaliev and Brazilian Vinicius Cruz. In the welterweight division, Khussein will face Vinicius. Will the Chechen fighter extend his losing streak to the Brazilian athlete?
The Chechen should use his advantage in a wrestling match, and he may very well throw his opponent a number of tough punches in the clinch. Cruz lost his last fight because of a head-to-head collision. Bad luck, but those are fights, there’s nothing you can do about it, episodes like that aren’t uncommon.
In general, Vinicius has not been knocked out cold, and in the standup, he works in a variety of ways. It is not clear how good his defense is against take-downs, but Khaliev must test it in full. Let’s not invent a bicycle here, we’ll just play a clean win for the favorite, who has much more trumps in his pocket.
The fighter from Grozny Khusein Khaliev bears the nickname ‘’The Captain’’. In the track record, the athlete had 26 fights in which he gained 23 victories and suffered three defeats. Now he is on the winning streak of two fights and turned out to be stronger than Alexandr Butenko and Stanislav Vlasenko in their rematch.
He began his journey to the professionals in 2010. He won the Akhmat League title in October 2016 but did not conquer the ACA title in 2019. Husein’s basic styles are combat sambo, kickboxing, and hand-to-hand combat.
Brazilian Vinicius Cruz has been competing professionally for 13 years. The 33-year-old fighter has 10 wins, four losses, and one draw on his record. In February 2022, the South American resumed his career after a long three-year downtime. At the same time, he made his first appearance in Russia under the banner of AMC – Fight Nights promotion.
He did not manage to compete with Artur Alibulatov, losing by technical knockout. Before that he lost by unanimous decision to Kleber ‘’Clebinho’’ Souza, who not long ago gave a lot of trouble to Alexander Shlemenko. Vinicius in his fights emphasizes his striking technique, preferring to work as the second number and constantly changing stances.
