St. Petersburg assembles strong heavyweight team led by Kirill Kornilov

A notable heavyweight team has formed in St. Petersburg, potentially 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), Dmitry Baboryko (2-0), Denis Goltsov (36-9), and regular training camp participant Anton Vyazigin (17-6). Most fighters compete in ACA, where the high level of competition makes it difficult to maintain winning records, but success there indicates world-class ability. Two upcoming interesting matchups are highlighted: Kirill Kornilov vs. Tony Johnson and Daniil Matsola vs. Khadis Ibragimov, with Ibragimov also having developed professionally in St. Petersburg.
