Quick read
Mark Vologdin is in peak physical condition ahead of his UFC debut this weekend. The 25-year-old Russian fighter lost a decision on Dana White's Contender Series in October, but the fight was so entertaining and violent that fans were thrilled and Dana White gave a standing ovation, resulting in UFC contracts for both Vologdin and winner Adrian Luna Martinetti. Vologdin holds a record of 12-4-1 with six knockouts and four submissions. The Petrozavodsk native from the Republic of Karelia is a master of sport in Kyokushin karate. He faces veteran John Castaneda, who is 4-4 in the UFC and last fought exactly one year ago, losing a split decision to Chris Gutierrez.
