Promotion chief Kamil Gadzhiev has confirmed two welterweight Grand Prix semifinal bouts for BetCity Fight Nights 138, set to take place in Saint Petersburg on June 6. Andrey Koreschkov will square off with Gleison Tibau in one half of the bracket, while Sergey Romanov is slated to face Andre Muniz in the other.
Tibau, a 42-year-old Brazilian southpaw out of American Top Team, carries a career record of 33 wins and 14 losses. The five-foot-ten veteran owns a takedown rate of 4.08 per fifteen minutes, making him a persistent threat on the mat, though his striking accuracy sits at 31 percent on 1.95 significant strikes landed per minute.
Muniz, nicknamed "Sergipano," is a 36-year-old Brazilian also fighting out of a southpaw stance and representing Tata Fight Team Montes Claros. Standing six-foot-one with a 78-inch reach, he carries a 24-8 record and blends a solid ground attack — 3.98 takedowns per fifteen minutes and 1.1 submission attempts per fifteen minutes — with sharper-than-average striking, landing 2.08 significant strikes per minute at a 48 percent accuracy rate.
Why it matters
- Both bouts are Grand Prix semifinals, meaning the winners advance toward a tournament title
- Tibau and Muniz are both Brazilian southpaws with active grappling games, setting up technical stylistic battles against their Russian opponents
- The results will directly shape the welterweight Grand Prix bracket and determine who competes for the tournament crown
