The opponent of Osimkhon “Black Hawk” Rakhmonov (16-5) will be the experienced representative of Slovakia Tomas Dec (25-14).
The fight promises to be a serious test for both fighters. Dec is one of the most experienced competitors in the division, with over 40 professional fights under his belt. Recently, the Slovakian has gained good momentum and has established himself among the strongest, occupying ninth place in the bantamweight rankings.
For Rakhmonov, this fight has special significance. After losing in the candidate’s fight, the Tajik fighter intends to return to his winning streak as quickly as possible and get closer to the title race again.
In April 2026, at the ACA 202 tournament in St. Petersburg, Rakhmonov lost to Russian Renat Ondar by split decision. This result interrupted his winning streak and temporarily distanced him from his championship ambitions. However, the fighter himself does not hide his goals – he is still determined to take the shortest route to the belt.
Osimkhon Rakhmonov is one of the most spectacular fighters of the Tajik MMA school. He has 16 wins and 5 losses, and a significant part of his successes was achieved ahead of schedule.
He made his debut in professional MMA in 2015 and since then has worked his way up from local tournaments to one of the leading promotions in Eurasia – ACA. In his career there were both bright victories and difficult defeats, but each time he came back stronger.
His recent successful performances are especially worth noting: a victory over Charles Enrique by unanimous decision and a spectacular knockout in a fight against Goga Shamatava at the ACA 188 tournament.
Tomas Dec is a versatile and experienced fighter who knows how to adapt to his opponent. His main advantage is his experience and ability to maintain a high pace throughout the entire battle. That is why the key task for Rakhmonov will be to impose his style and not allow his opponent to control the course of the fight.
The fight at ACA 206 could be a turning point for the Tajik fighter’s career. A victory over a ranked opponent will not only return him to the list of contenders, but will also strengthen his position in the division.
For Rakhmonov himself, this is not just another fight – it is an opportunity to prove that the defeat was only a temporary setback, and his ambitions are still aimed at the championship belt.
