St. Petersburg has assembled its most formidable heavyweight team in 20 years, the strongest lineup since the legendary Red Devil era. 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 regular training camp visitor Anton Vyazigin (17-6). Most compete in ACA, which means losses are inevitable given the tough competition, but those who build strong records there can be considered world-class fighters. Two notable upcoming matchups are Kirill Kornilov vs Tony Johnson and Daniil Matsola vs Khadis Ibragimov at ACA 202.
