Vadim Nemkov defeated Corey Anderson in the Bellator 288 main event on Friday to win the Light Heavyweight Grand Prix and a $1 million prize. The two previously met at Bellator 277 in April, but the match ended in a no contest due to an accidental clash of heads in the final seconds of the third round. On Friday, Nemkov left no doubt inside Wintrust Arena in Chicago. Nemkov fended off every takedown attempt by Anderson in the fight and delivered a heavy dose of leg kicks. After five rounds, it was clear who had won. The judges scored the bout 48-47, 49-46 and 49-46
