Nemkov: “The fight with Capelozza went the way I wanted”

Former Bellator light heavyweight champion Vadim Nemkov commented on the victory over Bruno Capelozza within the framework of the PFL vs. Bellator: Champs in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

“The fight went the way I wanted it to. I worked in the stand, was faster, interrupted. Then he fought and finished him on the ground. I think I made a lot of statements about myself with this fight. In the next fight I would like to fight for the title.

I got cut when he landed a front kick in the second round, and I didn’t have time to remove my head. It turns out that he cut it with a mouth guard. I didn’t swim, but he came at me specifically and began to competently cut the corners. Therefore, I decided to get closer and go to the ground. It was possible to translate, then he began to walk away, turn over and gave away his neck,” Nemkov said after the fight.

Let us remind you that Nemkov defeated Capelozza by choke in the second round. For the Russian it was a debut in the heavy category.
