Croatian Ante Delia poses no threat to the Russians Vadim Nemkov this opinion was shared with by the ex-Bellator fighter, now sporting director of Ural FC Kirill Sidelnikov .
Nemkov, a former champion and winner of the Bellator Light Heavyweight Grand Prix, will compete for his second heavyweight title against Delia on January 25 in Dubai at the PFL tournament.
– To be honest, I don’t think this fight is interesting for Vadim. There is a colossal difference between these fighters. But there is a serious point: Vadim spent a year without fighting. Nemkov was ready to beat at least someone. And it’s good that Delia agreed. I know Vadim’s ambitions: to go to the best league. And he has a great chance of gaining a foothold in the top 3, as well as winning the belt in the top league. “It wouldn’t surprise me,” Sidelnikov told .
Nemkov, 32, has 17 victories and two defeats, and another of his fights was declared invalid. The Russians held their last fight to date in February 2024, defeating Brazilian Bruno Cappelozza ahead of schedule. Delia is 34 years old and has 24 wins and six losses. He fought his last fight in April 2024, when he lost to Russian Valentin Moldavsky. Delia also lost twice to Cappelozza.
