Promoter Kamil Gadzhiev has announced two welterweight Grand Prix bouts for BetCity Fight Nights 138, scheduled for June 6 in Saint Petersburg. Andrey Koreshkov will square off with Gleison Tibau, while Sergey Romanov meets Andre Muniz in the second Grand Prix contest of the evening.
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 tournament, landing 2.84 significant strikes per minute at 39 percent accuracy, and he also poses a consistent grappling threat with 4.8 takedowns per 15 minutes.
His opponent, Gleison Tibau, is a 42-year-old Brazilian southpaw out of American Top Team who brings a wealth of experience reflected in his 33-14-0 record. Standing five-foot-ten with a 71-inch reach, Tibau is primarily a grappler, averaging 4.08 takedowns per 15 minutes, though his striking output sits at 1.95 significant strikes per minute.
Andre Muniz, nicknamed "Sergipano," is a 36-year-old Brazilian southpaw with a 24-8-0 record. At six-foot-one with a 78-inch reach of 198 centimeters, he is a well-rounded threat who strikes at 2.08 significant strikes per minute with a sharp 48 percent accuracy and averages nearly four takedowns per 15 minutes alongside 1.1 submission attempts in the same span.
Why it matters
- Both bouts are official Grand Prix tournament matchups, meaning wins carry direct implications for who advances in the welterweight bracket.
- Koreshkov versus Tibau pits a high-volume takedown fighter from Brazil against a younger, more accurate striker with his own strong wrestling credentials.
- Muniz's combination of reach, striking accuracy, and submission threat makes him a stylistically complex opponent for Romanov in the second Grand Prix contest.
