Quick read
Saint Petersburg has assembled its most powerful heavyweight roster since the legendary Red Devil team, approximately 20 years later. The current lineup 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 compete in ACA, where the high level of competition ensures losses but validates those who succeed as world-class fighters. Two upcoming intriguing matchups are Kirill Kornilov vs Tony Johnson and Daniil Matsola vs Khadis Ibragimov, with Ibragimov also having developed professionally in Saint Petersburg.
