ASA Bantamweight Champion Oleg Borisov told that the league had informed him that his promotion Grand Prix semi-final fight with Magomed Bibulatov will take place in late January 2024, but the exact date of the fight has not yet been determined.
Borisov and Bibulatov will fight in the semi-finals of the ACA Bantamweight Grand Prix. Borisov beat Rustam Kerimov in the quarterfinals and Bibulatov beat Vazha Tsiptauri.
Borisov and Bibulatov already met in March 2022, then Borisov won by unanimous decision.
— In the semi-final of the ACA Grand Prix, we will meet Magomed Bibulatov. I wanted to perform on December 24 at a tournament in Moscow. This would be very practical for me. But the league postponed the fight until next year. As I was told, it is the end of January, but there are no exact dates.
The Grand Prix turned out to be not quite balanced, or something like that. I fought in March and my opponent in August. That’s too big a gap. Here, nothing depends on the athletes. That’s why I’m also waiting to see what the league says. If it were not for the Grand Prix, I would have fought a long time ago, and maybe more than once, ”Borisov told .
Borisov, 40, has 26 victories and six defeats in mixed martial arts. Bibulatov, 35, has 20 wins and three losses in his career.
