St. Petersburg builds strong heavyweight team led by Kirill Kornilov

St. Petersburg has assembled its strongest heavyweight MMA team in 20 years, potentially the most powerful lineup since the legendary Red Devil team. The roster includes several notable fighters: 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 of these fighters compete in ACA, which presents significant challenges due to the high level of competition. Two upcoming interesting matchups are highlighted: Kirill Kornilov vs Tony Johnson and Daniil Matsola vs Khadis Ibragimov, with Ibragimov also having developed as a professional fighter in St. Petersburg.
