Vadim Nemkov, the light heavyweight champ from Bellator, just stepped up a weight class and dominated former PFL heavyweight king Bruno Cappelozza. The guys a student of Fedor Emelianenko, so you know… he’s got skills. The big question was, could he handle a heavyweight beast like Cappelozza? Spoiler alert: He did, and then some.
Nemkov started off strong, mixing it up with sharp strikes. He even opened up Bruno’s nose with a solid right, leaving the guy bleeding by the end of the first round.
In the second, Cappelozza had a moment, landing a heavy right. But Nemkov, cool as ever, took him down and smoothly transitioned to full mount.
Before you know it, he locks in an arm-triangle and it’s lights out for Bruno. No tap, straight to sleep.
This win wasn’t just about Nemkov stepping up; it put Bellator 3-0 against PFL for the night. And let’s not forget about Renan Ferreira, who made noise knocking out Ryan Bader. But here’s the deal – keep your eyes on Nemkov.
The guy’s got heavyweight power with a light heavyweight’s agility. He’s proving he’s a force to be reckoned with, not just in his class, but in the heavyweight game too.
