St. Petersburg has assembled its most impressive heavyweight team 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, a young master of sport in Greco-Roman wrestling), Denis Goltsov (36-9) training separately, and Anton Vyazigin (17-6) who regularly attends training camps. Most of these fighters compete in ACA, where the high level of competition means losses are inevitable, but those who succeed there can be considered world-class. Two upcoming interesting matchups highlighted are Kirill Kornilov vs Tony Johnson and Daniil Matsola vs Khadis Ibragimov, with Ibragimov also having developed professionally in St. Petersburg.
