Promoter Kamil Gadzhiev has confirmed two welterweight semifinal bouts for BetCity Fight Nights 138, set for June 6 in Saint Petersburg, Russia. Andrey Koreshkov will meet Gleison Tibau in one half of the Grand Prix bracket, while Sergey Romanov faces Andre Muniz in the other.
Koreshkov, known as "Spartan," enters the tournament with an impressive 19-2-0 record and is 35 years old. Standing six feet tall, the Russian striker posts 2.84 significant strikes per minute at 39 percent accuracy, and his 4.8 takedowns per 15 minutes marks him as a genuine grappling threat as well. His two career losses remain a rare blemish on an otherwise dominant resume.
Tibau brings a wealth of experience to the opposite corner. The 42-year-old Brazilian southpaw, who trains out of American Top Team, carries a 33-14-0 record and has built his career around relentless wrestling, averaging 4.08 takedowns per 15 minutes. Standing five-foot-ten with a 71-inch reach, he is the elder statesman of the Grand Prix field.
In the second semifinal, Andre "Sergipano" Muniz enters on the strength of a 24-8-0 record. The 36-year-old Brazilian southpaw stands six-foot-one with a 78-inch reach and connects at 48 percent striking accuracy, the highest of any fighter in this announcement. He also averages 1.1 submission attempts per 15 minutes, underlining a well-rounded attack built on Tata Fight Team foundations.
His opponent, Sergey Romanov, was not included in the verified fighter data provided for this announcement.
Why it matters
- Koreshkov's combination of volume striking and takedown output makes him a heavy favorite to advance on paper
- Tibau's experience and wrestling base could neutralize younger opposition over championship rounds
- Muniz's reach advantage of 78 inches and submission threat create a stylistic puzzle for Romanov
- Both bouts carry Grand Prix advancement stakes, meaning the winner of each semifinal moves closer to a tournament title
