Saint Petersburg develops strong heavyweight camp with Kornilov, Maslov, Vinnikov

Saint Petersburg has assembled a notable heavyweight team, potentially the strongest since the legendary Red Devil camp 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, a young Greco-Roman wrestling master), Denis Goltsov (36-9) separately, and Anton Vyazigin (17-6) who regularly attends training camps. Most of these fighters compete in ACA, which means they will face losses given the high level of competition, but those who compile good statistics there can be considered world-level fighters. Two interesting upcoming matchups were highlighted: Kirill Kornilov vs. Tony Johnson and Daniil Matsola vs. Khadis Ibragimov, with Ibragimov also having developed professionally in Saint Petersburg.
