Saint Petersburg assembles strongest heavyweight team in 20 years since Red Devil era

Saint Petersburg has gathered a formidable heavyweight team, potentially the strongest since the legendary Red Devil team from 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), Denis Goltsov (36-9), and Anton Vyazigin (17-6) who regularly attends training camps. Most fighters compete in ACA, which means they face tough competition and inevitable losses, but those who compile good records there can be considered world-class fighters. Two interesting upcoming matchups highlighted are Kirill Kornilov vs. Tony Johnson and Daniil Matsola vs. Khadis Ibragimov, with Ibragimov also having developed professionally in Saint Petersburg.
