St. Petersburg builds strong heavyweight team 20 years after Red Devil era

St. Petersburg has assembled a notable heavyweight MMA team, representing the strongest lineup in the city 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 at 93 kg (6-3), Dmitry Baboryko, a young Greco-Roman wrestling master (2-0), Denis Goltsov (36-9), and regular training camp participant Anton Vyazigin (17-6). Most compete in ACA, where the high level of competition makes victories difficult but proves the quality of successful fighters. Two upcoming interesting matchups feature team members: Kirill Kornilov vs Tony Johnson and Daniil Matsola vs Khadis Ibragimov, with Ibragimov also having developed professionally in St. Petersburg.
