Quick read
Mark Vologdin, 25, from Petrozavodsk in the Republic of Karelia, is preparing for his UFC debut. The Russian fighter received a contract after an impressive performance loss on Dana White's Contender Series in October, where despite losing by decision, both he and winner Adrian Luna Martinetti earned contracts due to the exciting nature of the fight. Vologdin holds a 12-4-1 record with 6 knockouts and 4 submissions and is a master of sport in Kyokushin karate. His opponent will be experienced veteran John Castaneda, who holds a 4-4 record in the UFC and last fought exactly one year ago, losing to Chris Gutierrez by split decision.
