BetCity Fight Nights 138 will feature two welterweight Grand Prix bouts when the card lands in Saint Petersburg on June 6, with promoter Kamil Gadzhiev confirming the pairings: Andrey Koreschkov against Gleison Tibau, and Sergey Romanov against Andre Muniz.

Gleison Tibau
Gleison Tibau

Tibau, 42, is a Brazilian veteran out of American Top Team who carries a career record of 33 wins and 14 losses. Fighting out of a southpaw stance at five-foot-ten with a 71-inch reach, he is a persistent grappler who averages 4.08 takedowns per 15 minutes. His striking volume sits at 1.95 significant strikes landed per minute, though his accuracy of 31 percent reflects a style built more around controlling opponents than outpointing them on the feet.

Muniz, nicknamed Sergipano, is a fellow Brazilian southpaw with a record of 24-8-0. At 36 years old he stands six-foot-one with a notably long 78-inch reach, and his numbers reflect a well-rounded threat. He averages 2.08 significant strikes per minute at 48 percent accuracy, and his grappling credentials are equally serious — 3.98 takedowns per 15 minutes alongside 1.1 submission attempts per 15 minutes.

Why it matters

  • Both bouts are tournament matches inside a welterweight Grand Prix, meaning advancement carries direct stakes beyond a single win or loss.
  • Tibau's takedown-heavy wrestling will be tested against Koreschkov, while Muniz's combination of accurate striking and submission threat sets up a complex stylistic puzzle for Romanov.
  • With two southpaw Brazilians — Tibau and Muniz — on the same card in a Russian promotion, the June 6 event shapes up as a significant night for the welterweight Grand Prix bracket.
