ACA 209 card, start times and how to watch Odilov vs Frolov

ACA 209 puts sixteen fights on in Dushanbe, Tajikistan, on Friday, October 30, five on the main card and eleven on the prelims. There is no title on the line. The headliner is a five-round middleweight fight with a local man on one side of it, and the co-main brings a flyweight back to ACA straight out of the UFC.

Faridun Odilov (21-4-2) is from Tajikistan, and he fought for the ACA middleweight title in December 2024, losing to Adlan Ibragimov by rear-naked choke in the fourth round at ACA 182. He has gone 3-1 since: unanimous decisions over Leonardo Silva, Dauren Ermekov and, at ACA 206 in August, Altynbek Mamashov, with a decision loss to Elmar Gasanov in between. Artem Frolov (21-7) lost a unanimous decision to Ramazan Emeev at ACA 199 in January, then stopped Mark Hulme with punches in the second round at ACA 204 in June.

In the co-main, Azam Gaforov (16-5), also from Tajikistan, meets Felipe Bunes (14-9) at flyweight. Gaforov lost a five-round decision to Aren Akopyan at ACA 203 in May. Bunes fought five times in ACA before his UFC run, and his last two UFC fights were decision losses, to Rafael Estevam in August 2025 and, by split decision, to Édgar Cháirez in February.
