St. Petersburg assembles strong heavyweight team 20 years after Red Devil

St. Petersburg has assembled its most formidable heavyweight team in approximately 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 regular training camp participant Anton Vyazigin (17-6). Most fighters compete in ACA, which means they will face inevitable losses due to the high level of competition, but those who compile strong records will be considered world-class. Two interesting upcoming matchups feature Kirill Kornilov vs. Tony Johnson and Daniil Matsola vs. Khadis Ibragimov, with Ibragimov also having developed professionally in St. Petersburg.
