St. Petersburg assembles strong heavyweight team for ACA competition

St. Petersburg has gathered a notable heavyweight team, potentially the strongest lineup since the legendary Red Devil team 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 93 kg), 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 means losses are inevitable due to the high level of competition, but those who compile good records there can be considered world-class fighters. Two interesting upcoming matchups are highlighted: Kirill Kornilov vs Tony Johnson and Daniil Matsola vs Khadis Ibragimov, with Ibragimov also having developed as a professional in St. Petersburg.
