Russian fighters will not hold title fights in Bellator

Dmitriy Kel April 4, 2022, 7 a.m.

Russian Middleweight Bellator Anatoly Tokov told why in the near future he will not have a duel with the champion Gegard Mousasi.

“Everyone refused to fight me, but Bellator offered a fight for the title on June 24th. We agreed and did not wait for other fights. And recently we were told that Russian fighters cannot yet fight for the belt, and therefore they won’t give me a title fight on June 25, but they promise to give me another fight.

It's not that Bellator doesn't want to. If President Scott Cocker - he does not mind. But the people who own Bellator said they wouldn't give title fights to the Russians. Nemkov and Anderson? Firstly, Vadik still has a belt, their fight was announced before all these sanctions, so they allowed it. They said that they announced it a long time ago and the tickets have already been sold," Tokov said in an interview with the Vestnik MMA YouTube channel.
