Bellator light heavyweight title to become vacant

Dmitriy Kel Aug. 11, 2023, 6:51 a.m.

Bellator light heavyweight champion Vadim Nemkov announced that he had decided to give up his belt and move up to the heavyweight division.

“I spoke with Fedor Emelianenko, and we decided that I was moving to heavyweight. I'm getting older and with every fight it's getting harder for me to lose weight. This is a new challenge for me. I did my best at light heavyweight. Now the new challenge is to move up in weight and win another title.

In the light heavyweight category, I don’t see anything new for myself. Yes, I will release the belt and move to heavy weight, ”MMA Junkie quotes Nemkov.

Recall that Nemkov defended the title four times. In the last fight, which took place on June 16, the Russian won on points against Cuban veteran Yoel Romero.
