The first title defense for newly crowned Bellator light heavyweight champion Vadim Nemkov may come against a name he has met before.
Bellator MMA President Scott Coker recently spoke to Nolan King of MMA Junkie and revealed that a rematch between Nemkov and former champion Phil Davis is coming soon.
“(Phil Davis) had a great fight with (Vadim) Nemkov last time,” said Coker (transcription by MMA Junkie). “This will be a rematch. Phil has done a great job since then. That was a close fight. I’m not sure if you recall. I think it was in Israel last year and they had a war there.
