St. Petersburg assembles strong heavyweight team led by Kornilov and Maslov

A notable heavyweight training camp has formed in Saint Petersburg, Russia, representing the city's strongest collection of big men since the legendary Red Devil team 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, young Greco-Roman wrestling master), Denis Goltsov (36-9), and regular training camp participant Anton Vyazigin (17-6). Most of these fighters compete in ACA, where the high level of competition makes victories particularly meaningful. Two significant upcoming matchups feature this group: Kirill Kornilov vs Tony Johnson and Daniil Matsola vs Khadis Ibragimov at ACA 202. Ibragimov also developed as a professional fighter in Saint Petersburg, making it a local rivalry.
