Nemkov v Davis 2
Their first fight in 2018 went the distance, with the Russian winning by way of split decision. Nemkov hasn’t lost a fight since 2016 and Davis heads into the event on fine form.
Bellator’s light heavyweight grand prix returns as world champion Vadim Nemkov of Russia steps into the cage with America’s Phil “Mr Wonderful” Davis. The formidable Nemkov will also be defending his light heavyweight title, which he claimed in summer 2020 after defeating two weight world champion, Ryan Bader. This will be the second meeting between Nemkov and Davis – their first fight in 2018 went the distance, with the Russian winning by way of split decision. Nemkov hasn’t lost a fight since 2016 and will be keen to defend his belt and start the tournament in style with a second victory over Davis. With a three-fight winning streak, Davis heads into the event on fine form and will seek revenge for his first meeting with Nemkov.
