Koreshkov, known as "Spartan," carries an impressive 19-2-0 record and stands six feet tall at 35 years old. He is one of the more active strikers in the division, landing 2.84 significant strikes per minute with 39 percent accuracy, and adds a strong grappling dimension with 4.8 takedowns per 15 minutes. Notably, he has not recorded a submission attempt in his tracked career statistics.
His opponent, Gleison Tibau, is a 42-year-old Brazilian veteran out of American Top Team holding a 33-14-0 record. The southpaw stands five-foot-ten with a 71-inch reach and has built his game around persistent takedown pressure, averaging 4.08 takedowns per 15 minutes throughout his career.
The second Grand Prix bout features Sergey Romanov against Andre Muniz, the Brazilian contender nicknamed "Sergipano." Muniz owns a 24-8-0 record at 36 years old. Standing six-foot-one with a long 78-inch reach, the southpaw out of Tata Fight Team Montes Claros is a well-rounded threat, connecting at 48 percent striking accuracy while also averaging 3.98 takedowns and 1.1 submission attempts per 15 minutes.
Why it matters
