ACA Returns to St. Petersburg for Its Final Event of 2026

ACA will close out 2026 with a major event in St. Petersburg on December 25. ACA 211 will feature two championship bouts at KSK Arena: Alexander Shlemenko and Ramazan Emeev will battle for the vacant middleweight title, while reigning flyweight champion Anatoly Kondratyev will defend his belt against Aren Akopyan.

The main event of ACA 211 will see Alexander “Storm” Shlemenko take on Ramazan “Gorets” Emeev. The former Bellator champion will face the ex-UFC fighter and former M-1 Global titleholder. Their matchup was originally scheduled for the summer but was called off after Emeev suffered an injury. Now, the two fighters will finally meet to determine the new ACA middleweight champion.

The co-main event will feature a championship rematch between Anatoly Kondratyev and Aren Akopyan. In 2023, Akopyan defeated Kondratyev by decision. Since then, Kondratyev has put together five consecutive victories and captured the ACA flyweight title. He now has the opportunity to avenge that loss, while Akopyan will look to repeat his previous success and claim the championship belt.

ACA 211 will bring together some of the promotion's top fighters and mark the conclusion of the 2026 ACA event calendar.

December 25. St. Petersburg. KSK Arena. Two Title Fights. ACA 211.
