Renowned Russian MMA veteran Fedor Emelianenko shared his thoughts on the potential transfer of his student Vadim Nemkov in the UFC.

- When Vadim Nemkov talks about the opportunity to play in the UFC, do you have jealousy?

- This is not jealousy. This is a fear for Vadim. We know how the UFC treats fighters when it suits them. The same Andrei Orlovsky, for example, was not given fights and was not released. I remember there was such a scandal, and not only with Andrey. Not everything there is cultural and decent. Probably every fighter has a similar memory of working with this organization. But if Vadim decides to perform there, we will support him. And as for me, I have never exchanged relationships for money, relationships are above all.

Recall that Nemkov holds the Bellator light heavyweight title. In the next fight, the Russian will meet with the American Corey Anderson in the final of the Grand Prix of the promotion.
