St. Petersburg assembles strong heavyweight team with Kornilov, Maslov, Vinnikov

A notable heavyweight MMA team has formed in St. Petersburg, representing the strongest lineup since the legendary Red Devil team 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), and Dmitry Baboryko (2-0), along with Denis Goltsov (36-9) and regular training camp participant Anton Vyazigin (17-6). Most of the team competes in ACA, which means they will face losses due to the high level of competition, but those who compile strong records will be considered world-class fighters. Two upcoming bouts highlighted are Kirill Kornilov vs. Tony Johnson and Daniil Matsola vs. Khadis Ibragimov, with Ibragimov also having developed professionally in St. Petersburg.
