Promoter Kamil Gadzhiev has officially announced two welterweight Grand Prix semifinal bouts for BetCity Fight Nights 138, scheduled for June 6 in Saint Petersburg. Andrey Korreshkov will take on Gleison Tibau in one bracket matchup, while Sergey Romanov squares off with Andre Muniz in the other, with both winners advancing in the tournament.
Gleison Tibau brings a career record of 33 wins and 14 losses to the bout. The 42-year-old Brazilian southpaw, who trains out of American Top Team, stands five-foot-ten with a 71-inch reach. A persistent grappling threat, Tibau averages 4.08 takedowns per 15 minutes, making him one of the more active wrestlers in the division. His striking output sits at 1.95 significant strikes per minute, though his 31 percent striking accuracy suggests he relies more on volume and pressure than pinpoint precision.
Andre Muniz, known as "Sergipano," enters the tournament carrying a 24-8 record. The 36-year-old Brazilian southpaw stands six-foot-one with an 78-inch reach and trains with Tata Fight Team Montes Claros. Muniz blends striking and grappling effectively, landing 2.08 significant strikes per minute at a sharp 48 percent accuracy while also averaging 3.98 takedowns per 15 minutes. He supplements that with 1.1 submission attempts per 15 minutes, making him a versatile threat across all phases.
Why it matters
- Both bouts are official Grand Prix semifinals, meaning each winner advances directly in the tournament bracket
- Tibau and Muniz are both southpaw Brazilian grapplers, creating interesting stylistic parallels across the two semifinal matchups
- The Romanov vs. Muniz pairing pits a well-rounded submission threat against an opponent whose record and details are pending confirmation in the bracket
