St. Petersburg has gathered its most formidable 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 at 93kg (6-3), Dmitry Baboryko, a young Greco-Roman wrestling master (2-0), Denis Goltsov (36-9), and Anton Vyazigin (17-6) who regularly attends training camps. Most of these fighters compete in ACA, which means they will face losses due to the high level of competition, but those who succeed will prove themselves as world-class fighters. 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.
