On November 18, the fight in the main event of the ACA light heavyweight division will fight Russian Muslim Magomedov against Russian Oleg Olenichev for the division title. The fight is planned to start at 19:15 UK time.
The ACA bantamweight division is not very competitive at the moment, as Muslim Magomedov literally “cleaned up” the whole division. He made seven wins in a row in the league and already had a successful defense of the belt. Olenichev fought only three fights in the ACA and quickly made it to the title fight against Magomedov.
In my opinion, stylistically Oleg is comfortable for Muslim, so this fight will not be competitive. Olenichev is a base puncher, and Magomedov is without exaggeration the best fighter in the division. Most likely the champion will have no problem taking the challenger to the ground and getting another victory in a dominant style.
Muslim Magomedov (11-0 MMA record), is a 27-year-old undefeated fighter from Makhachkala. Magomedov does not have much popularity, but hardcore MMA fans consider him the best welterweight fighter in Russia. The fighter has practically no weaknesses, as he has the good striking technique and phenomenal wrestling. In addition, for a welterweight, Muslim breathes excellently and is able to work at a high tempo all five rounds. Now the 27-year-old Russian is at the peak of his form and has not had any defeats in his professional career. In July 2021, Muslim defeated Evgeny “Metis” Egemberdiev and won the champion’s belt. Six months later he defended his title in the fight with Grigor Matevosyan. The champion prepares for his fights in the best Dagestan halls, together with such titled athletes as Abdulrashid “The Russian Tank ”Sadulaev, Ayub “Tikhy” Gimbatov, Nasrudin Nasrudinov, Armen Petrosyan, and others.
Oleg Olenichev (MMA record 17-6) is a 30-year-old fighter from Yekaterinburg. Olenichev has gained great form over the last couple of years and is on a six-fight winning streak in a row. Oleg has had three fights at ACA and has won all of them handily. Prior to signing with ACA, Oleg competed in the GFC league, where he was the flyweight division champion. His strength is his striking technique, but he is also quite confident in grappling. Olenichev also has a strong jaw and has never lost a fight early. Oleg trained for his championship fight against Muslim Magomedov in the famous Muay Thai “Tiger” gym, together with such fighters as Anatoly Malykhin, Darren Till, Vadim Nemkov, and Sergey Shadrichev.
