Abdul-Aziz Abdulvakhabov vs Gleison Tibau Result, Score & Stats

⭐️ Abdulvakhabov makes the move up to welterweight after a dominant run atop ACA’s lightweight division, boasting 22 wins with just two losses—both coming by decision. He’s coming off a knockout victory over Ali Bagov. Tibau, significantly older, enters this matchup riding a three-fight winning streak and brings nearly 60 professional bouts’ worth of experience into the cage.

Despite Abdulvakhabov’s clear edge in skill, a quick finish doesn’t seem inevitable here. Tibau’s vast grappling experience allows him to tie opponents up, and he’s only been knocked out five times across his lengthy career. For Abdul-Aziz, this is also a debut in a new weight class, so it’s reasonable to expect he’ll take time to adjust to the physicality of a larger opponent. Our pick: over 1.5 rounds.
