Undefeated 21-year-old welterweight prospect Andrey “Spartan” Koreshkov (9-0) of St. Petersburg, Russia has signed with Bellator Fighting Championship, the promotion announced today.

The 21-year-old Koreshkov, a student of two-time Bellator Middleweight Tournament Champion Alexander “Storm” Shlemenko, has yet to be forced beyond the second round of a fight.  Five of his nine victories have come by way of knockout.

“The international market has produced some incredible talent for us, and Andrey is near the very top of that list,” said Bellator Chairman & CEO Bjorn Rebney.
