Amir Aliakbari vs Johnson Prediction 23 October 2025

Amir Aliakbari, at 37 years old, holds a professional record of 15-4. He began his MMA career in October 2015 and advanced to the final of the Rizin Grand Prix, where he suffered a knockout defeat to Mirko Filipović. Since 2018, he has competed in ACA, where after a streak of three victories, he transitioned to ONE Championship with a record of 4-3, including a knockout loss to Anatoly Malykhin. In August 2025, Aliakbari made a triumphant return to ACA, knocking out Salimgerey Rasulov in the first round. He is now gearing up for the main event at the ACA tournament in Dubai.

The 39-year-old American heavyweight, Tony Johnson (18-9-1), is a seasoned veteran in ACA, having competed in the organization since August 2018 and contending for the championship title six times. The pinnacle of his career came in November 2020 when Johnson claimed the belt by finishing Daniel Omielanczuk in the second round, subsequently defending his title successfully twice. However, his winning streak was halted in March 2022 with a loss to Salimgerey Rasulov, which cost him the championship. Since then, Johnson has fought five bouts, securing two victories and suffering three defeats. His most recent fight took place in August 2024, where he lost to Alihan Vakhaev by judges' decision.
