Russian UFC fighter Irina Alexeeva told “” that the fight between Bellator light heavyweight champion Vadim Nemkov and Cuban Yoel Romerov is more than a meeting between a Russian and an American Corey Anderson.
On Saturday night Moscow time, Nemkov defeated American Corey Anderson in the Bellator Grand Prix final in the light heavyweight division by unanimous decision and won $1 million. The fight against Romero will take place on February 4 at Bellator 290. Nemkov defended his Bellator light heavyweight belt for the third time. The Russian fighter is 30 years old, he has 15 MMA victories including two defeats. Former UFC fighter Romero has 15 wins and six losses.
— It is a pleasure to watch Vadim Nemkov. We competed with him in the combat sambo team, and he already had no equal there. And now it was great to watch with Anderson. In terms of time, he had to fight Romero early, because he had just fought. But it’s the league’s decision, Vadim will make that decision. Romero matches the level, he’s a big name, I’m even looking forward to this fight more than Vadim’s meeting with Corey Anderson,” Alekseeva told .
In the same Bellator 288 show, Russian Usman Nurmagomedov defeated Brazilian Patrick Freire by unanimous decision and won the Bellator lightweight belt.
— Usman, I think, has long taken possession of the Bellator belt. He needs to move to the UFC, because he has such a level that there are no special rivals for him,” Alekseeva noted.
