Zhora Ayvazyan makes successful ACA debut, finishes Brazilian Denis Silva

Armenian MMA fighter Zhora Ayvazyan (16-1) made a brilliant debut in the ACA league, securing a technical knockout victory over Brazilian Denis Silva (20-9) in the second round. The fight took place in Dubai as part of ACA 194.

Ayvazyan, who recently turned 30, extended his winning streak to seven consecutive fights. Previously, he had competed in PFL, Bellator, and Eagle FC, but due to limited fight opportunities, decided to switch organizations. The move paid off — in his first ACA bout, he confidently finished his opponent.
