Mark Vologdin showcases form ahead of UFC debut against John Castaneda

Mark Vologdin's current physique has been revealed ahead of his UFC debut. The 25-year-old Russian lost a decision on Dana White's Contender Series in October, but the fight was so spectacular that Dana White gave standing applause and both fighters received contracts. Vologdin, from Petrozavodsk, Karelia, holds a 12-4-1 record with six knockouts and four submissions and is a master of sport in Kyokushin karate. He will face experienced veteran John Castaneda, who holds a 4-4 UFC record and last fought exactly one year ago, losing a split decision to Chris Gutierrez.
