A notable group of heavyweight fighters has assembled in St. Petersburg, representing potentially the strongest team since the legendary Red Devil gym 20 years ago. The 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 Greco-Roman wrestling master), Denis Goltsov (36-9), and Anton Vyazigin (17-6) who regularly attends training camps. Most fighters compete in ACA, which guarantees tough competition and inevitable losses, but those who succeed there can be considered world-class fighters. Upcoming fights include Kornilov vs Tony Johnson and Matsola vs Khadis Ibragimov, with Ibragimov also having been developed as a professional in St. Petersburg.
