Quick read
Russian fighter Mark Vologdin is training for his upcoming UFC debut at age 25. Despite losing by decision on Dana White's Contender Series in October, the fight was so exciting and brutal that fans were thrilled and Dana White gave a standing ovation, resulting in both Vologdin and winner Adrian Luna Martinetti receiving UFC contracts. Vologdin holds a 12-4-1 record with 6 knockouts and 4 submissions, representing Petrozavodsk in the Republic of Karelia and holding a master of sport ranking in Kyokushin karate. He will face veteran John Castaneda, who has a 4-4 UFC record and last fought exactly one year ago, losing to Chris Gutierrez by split decision.
