Fabio Aguiar
Aguillar isn't the pickiest of fighters. He's willing to trade punches with strikers and grapple with grapplers, thanks to his solid jiu-jitsu foundation.
The Brazilian made a name for himself fighting in promotions like LFA and Bellator (where, notably, he lost to Russian Khalid Murtazaliev). Over the past four years, Fabio has stepped into the cage only three times: suffering defeats to Aaron Jeffery (via TKO) and Lucas Fernando (also by TKO), while securing a victory over Miguel Firmino with a third-round submission.
Editor's Prediction
For Fabio, this will mark his debut fight in the ACA league, and he's up against a formidable opponent. According to bookmakers, Salam is favored in this matchup. However, instead of focusing on the outcome, we suggest considering the total rounds. Given that Aguiar is an extremely experienced fighter and Abdurakhmanov's recent bouts have been drawn-out affairs often going to decision, it's reasonable to expect that a quick finish is unlikely here.
