Reigning Bellator light heavyweight champion Vadim Nemkov of Russia admitted that he may move to the UFC as a heavyweight in the future.
A move to the UFC? Everything is possible, everything is real. I can ask the UFC for a good check with my skills and stats - a million for every fight (laughs). If I join the UFC, I'd rather fight in the heavyweight division, because I'm always having some trouble after every weight cut.
