St. Petersburg has assembled its strongest heavyweight team in 20 years, since the legendary Red Devil era. 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, young Greco-Roman wrestling master), Denis Goltsov (36-9), and Anton Vyazigin (17-6) who regularly trains on camps. Most fighters compete in ACA, which means they will face losses due to tough competition, but those who succeed will prove themselves at a world-class level. Two upcoming interesting matchups are Kirill Kornilov vs Tony Johnson and Daniil Matsola vs Khadis Ibragimov, with Ibragimov also having developed professionally in St. Petersburg.
