St. Petersburg has assembled a notable heavyweight team, potentially the strongest since the legendary Red Devil gym 20 years ago. The current roster 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, young master of sports in Greco-Roman wrestling), Denis Goltsov (36-9), and Anton Vyazigin (17-6) who regularly attends training camps. Most of these fighters compete in ACA, which means they will face tough competition and inevitable losses. However, those who manage to build strong records in this challenging environment can be considered world-class fighters. Two upcoming interesting matchups are mentioned: Kirill Kornilov vs Tony Johnson and Daniil Matsola vs Khadis Ibragimov.
