The best fighter in the Bellator league regardless of weight categories Vadim Nemkov said who he considers the best heavyweight in Russia.
Nemkov long held the Bellator light heavyweight championship belt, but in 2023 he announced his move to the heavyweight division and on February 24 defeated Bruno Capelozza by choke in a joint tournament between the Bellator organizations and PFL. This fight was the first for 31-year-old Nemkov in the weight category up to 120.2 kg.
— Who do you think is the best Russian heavyweight currently?
– I do not even know. Seryoga Pavlovich will probably be in first place, then Tolya Malykhin, then Sanya Volkov and Zhenya Goncharov. I will not field my team here.
— Will you support Anatoly Tokov in his fight against Magomed Ismailov?
— We’ll call Tolik and decide. Vasilich will probably be there (Alexander Vasilyevich Michkov, boxing coach – ). Maybe there will be someone from Dagestan, a coach. But there is also a limit there, it makes sense to gather there with ten people.
– But will you be at the tournament?
“Yes, I plan to come to the tournaments: in the same week Viktor (Nemkov, older brother – ) will fight there, and I think I will go there,” Nemkov told reporters.
