MOSCOW, April 8, Ivan Orekhov. Bellator light heavyweight champion Russian fighter Vadim Nemkov said in an interview that interim UFC champion Petr Yan should not underestimate promotion champion Aljamain Sterling before the rematch. The fight will take place on April 10 as part of the 273rd numbered promotion tournament in Jacksonville (USA). In the first fight, which took place in March 2021, Ian lost the title after being disqualified for an illegal knee to the opponent’s head. “I would like to watch this fight. won beautifully, ahead of schedule and confidently. Nobody believes in Sterling — it is dangerous to treat him like that. The main thing is that Petya tunes in to a tough fight and everything is fine in terms of psychology. I don’t know why they don’t believe in Sterling. Probably because how the first fight went. However, the American is still dangerous — there will be no easy walk, «Nemkov said.
