CHICAGO – Vadim Nemkov thinks he’s cleaned out the Bellator light heavyweight division and is now considering a move up to face the big boys after Bellator 297 . Nemkov (17-2 MMA, 9-0 BMMA) put on a masterclass on Friday when he dominated Yoel Romero (15-7 MMA, 2-2 BMMA) for almost five full rounds to win a lopsided unanimous decision in their main event showdown at Wintrust Arena. It was his fifth consecutive title defense, and made the Russian just the fourth in Bellator history to start a promotional tenure on a 10-fight unbeaten streak. The 30-year-old won the 205-pound grand prix prior to defeating Romero, and his defeated all the most notable contenders in his division – some twice. Because of that, Nemkov is mulling a jump to heavyweight where he could face greater challenges.
