The ACA 170 tournament will take place on February 9 in Moscow at the Irina Viner-Usmanova Arena.
— The flyweight fight between Tajikistan representative Azam Gaforov and Brazilian Alan Gomes has been removed from the 170 card of the tournament.

The fight is therefore canceled. Later we will make the decision to hold the Grand Prix semi-final in this weight category.
