ACA 207 card, start times and how to watch Goncharov vs Almeida

ACA 207 runs on Saturday, September 12 with a five-bout main card, and the headline is a genuine one: Jailton Almeida, a heavyweight who fought at the top of the UFC's division as recently as February, faces Evgeniy Goncharov in his first appearance under the ACA banner.

Almeida is 22-5 as a professional. In the UFC he submitted Jairzinho Rozenstruik, beat Derrick Lewis over three rounds, submitted Alexander Romanov and stopped Serghei Spivac, before dropping a split decision to Alexander Volkov in October 2025 and a unanimous decision to Rizvan Kuniev in February. Goncharov, 23-3, has spent his career in this promotion. That is the whole pitch: a man ranked eighth on the UFC's official heavyweight board as recently as February against the man who has been beating everyone ACA put in front of him.
