Vadim Nemkov vs. Ante Delija: Heavyweight Clash to Co-Headline PFL’s Dubai Show
Vadim Nemkov

The stage is set for an electrifying showdown as Vadim Nemkov takes on Ante Delija in the co-main event of the Professional Fighters League (PFL) Champions Series debut in Dubai on January 25. This heavyweight clash promises to deliver fireworks as two of MMA’s top talents face off in the United Arab Emirates.


The Champions Series Dubai card will also feature a Bellator lightweight title fight between reigning champion Usman Nurmagomedov and rising contender Paul Hughes in the headlining bout. With such a star-studded lineup, the event is set to make history for MMA fans worldwide.


Nemkov (18-2, 1 NC), the former Bellator light heavyweight champion, is making waves in the PFL heavyweight division. Known for his versatility and dominance, the 32-year-old Russian sensation entered the heavyweight ranks in style, submitting Bruno Cappelozza in the second round of his debut fight. Nemkov, unbeaten since 2016, holds notable victories over MMA legends like Ryan Bader, Corey Anderson, and Yoel Romero, making him one of the most formidable fighters in the sport.


On the other hand, Ante Delija (24-6) is no stranger to heavyweight glory. The Croatian powerhouse won the 2022 PFL heavyweight season, earning a $1 million prize after an incredible year that included a first-round knockout of Renan Ferreira. Despite mixed results in recent fights, Delija remains a dangerous contender with a proven track record of resilience and power.


As Nemkov and Delija prepare to lock horns, fans can expect a high-stakes battle that could shape the future of the PFL heavyweight division. Will Nemkov continue his undefeated streak, or will Delija reclaim his dominance? All eyes will be on Dubai for this monumental event.
