Yes, the UFC heavyweight title is being defended this week and Bellator’s massive return is around the corner. Doesn’t mean there isn’t much more to enjoy out there this weekend.
First up we’ve got ACA, setting up a major, major event with a lot of compelling fights. The featherweight belt is being defended by Nova União’s Felipe Froes (20-4, 1 draw) against former Bellator talent and Russian workhorse Magomedrasul “Frodo“ Khasbulaev (32-8). Khasbulaev racked up four wins a row including this stunner against former LFA and PFL fighter Alexandre Bezerra. Two of the best athletes not fighting in the western hemisphere are to duke it out, with Froes’ slick grappling game and agile striking matched up against Frodo’s power, durability, fight IQ and ability to control on the ground.
