Alexander Shabliy has shared his perspective on the rapid rise of ACA as a leading force in European MMA. In a recent interview, the Russian fighter emphasized the organization’s potential to become the continent’s top promotion, pointing to its success in attracting and developing young talent. Shabliy noted that ACA’s proactive approach to scouting and promotion has positioned it as a key player in the sport’s expansion across Russia and beyond.
During a conversation with UFC star Mateusz Gamrot, Shabliy was struck by the Polish fighter’s awareness of this team’s MMA landscape. Gamrot, a prominent figure in Europe’s MMA scene, acknowledged the strength of Russian promotions, including ACA, and admitted that Poland’s own KSW, while formidable, lacks the same level of emerging talent. Shabliy’s comments underscore ACA’s growing reputation, as the organization continues to sign and nurture the next generation of fighters.

Shabliy also touched on the broader development of MMA in Russia, crediting ACA’s efforts for much of the sport’s progress. With high-profile events and a commitment to grassroots growth, ACA is solidifying its status as a powerhouse in European combat sports. The discussion comes as Shabliy’s own career remains a topic of interest, with fans eagerly anticipating his return to action alongside his brother, Zabi Magomedsharipov, who he describes as an even more formidable competitor.
