Bellator has one of the biggest events in its history Friday in Chicago with two title fights at the top of the bill.
In the main event of Bellator 297, Vadim Nemkov puts his light heavyweight title on the line against former UFC title challenger Yoel Romero. In the co-feature, Sergio Pettis returns from injury to defend his bantamweight title against featherweight champ Patricio Freire.
Nemkov is in the conversation for the best light heavyweight in the world, and if he’s victorious against the always-dangerous Romero, his argument will only strengthen. If Romero wins at 46, he will have an incredible achievement in the late stage of his career.
