Vadim Nemkov defends his light heavyweight title this Friday against Corey Anderson at Bellator 277.
Nemkov has yet to achieve the recognition he deserves for his otherworldly skill in the cage, but a convincing win would certainly help buttress his fight portfolio. Anderson (16-5) has won seven of his last eight fights, and he is the last man to defeat Glover Teixeira, who is the reigning UFC light heavyweight champion.
“I have a lot of respect for Corey,” said Nemkov (15-2), who conducted the interview in his native Russian and spoke through a translator. “He has been fighting in this sport for a long time and had some serious battles. I took a lot of time to prepare for this fight.”
