Former Bellator Light Heavyweight Champion Vadim Nemkov explained why he decided to give up the belt and move up in weight.
“One: I was offered a rematch with Corey Anderson and Phil Davis, I don’t like endless rematches. Second: it’s already getting hard to lose weight, I’m already 31 years old. After talking with the doctors, I decided to switch to a different weight, the doctors said: a couple more weight races, and you can finish with the sport. Opponent in the new weight? Not yet, unknown. I would like to fight with him for the belt and become a heavyweight champion. He defeated Moldavsky, Emelianenko, this is an additional motivation for me.”
