Quick read
Mark Vologdin is showing his fighting shape ahead of his UFC debut at 25 years old. In October, he lost a decision on Dana White's Contender Series, but 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 holds a 12-4-1 record with 6 knockouts and 4 submissions. He represents Petrozavodsk in the Republic of Karelia and is a master of sport in Kyokushin karate. His opponent John Castaneda is experienced but aging, with a 4-4 UFC record, last fighting exactly one year ago when he lost a split decision to Chris Gutierrez.
