St. Petersburg assembles strong heavyweight team including Kornilov and Goltsov

St. Petersburg has assembled its strongest heavyweight MMA team in 20 years, potentially the most powerful lineup since the legendary Red Devil camp. The group includes Kirill Kornilov (18-3), Alexander Maslov (12-1), Anton Vinnikov (18-5), Daniil Matsola (7-0), Artem Dushenko (6-3 at 93kg), Dmitry Baboryko (2-0, a young Greco-Roman wrestling master), Denis Goltsov (36-9), and frequent training camp participant Anton Vyazigin (17-6). Most of these fighters compete in ACA, which presents both challenges due to high-level competition and opportunities to prove themselves against world-class opponents. Two upcoming interesting matchups are highlighted: Kirill Kornilov vs Tony Johnson and Daniil Matsola vs Khadis Ibragimov, with Ibragimov also having developed as a professional athlete in St. Petersburg.
