ACA 116: Froes vs Balaev
Promotion	Absolute Championship Akhmat
Date	December 18, 2020
Venue	VTB Arena
City	Moscow, Russia

Absolute Championship Akhmat 116: Froes vs Balaev was a mixed martial arts event held by Absolute Championship Akhmat on December 18, 2020, at the VTB Arena in Moscow, Russia.

ACA featherweight world champion Felipe Froes missed weight ahead of his fight against Marat Balaev and will not be eligible to retain the belt even if he wins. Felipe Froes was 0.7 kilograms over the limit. The fight will proceed with only Balaev, who weighed-in at 66 kg is eligible to win the title with a victory. If Froes wins the fight, the title will become vacant.^[10]

Brett Cooper was scheduled to face Beslan Isaev in a welterweight bout. However, after making weight, he consulted with his lawyers and decided to refuse fighting because of the U.S. Department of Treasury and Great Britain's sanctions policy against Kadyrov and any organization owned by him, this including Absolute Championship Akhmat. Under these sanctions, it is illegal for any US citizen to do business with any of these entities, meaning that all American fighters could face fines or jail time if they fight for the organization. ^[11][12]
