Mark Vologdin, 25, is preparing for his UFC debut after losing a decision on the Contender Series in October. Despite the loss, the fight was so exciting and brutal that fans were thrilled and Dana White gave a standing ovation, resulting in contracts for both Vologdin and winner Adrian Luna Martinetti. Vologdin has a record of 12-4-1 with 6 knockouts and 4 submissions, represents Petrozavodsk in the Republic of Karelia, and is a master of sport in Kyokushin karate. His opponent is the experienced and older John Castaneda, who is 4-4 in the UFC and last fought exactly one year ago, losing to Chris Gutierrez by split decision.
