Vadim Nemkov to Defend PFL Heavyweight Title Against Sergei Bilostenniy in Dubai

The Professional Fighters League has officially set the main event for its upcoming return to the Middle East. Heavyweight champion Vadim Nemkov is scheduled to make the first defense of his PFL heavyweight title against challenger Sergei Bilostenniy. The bout will serve as the headliner for PFL Dubai, which is set to take place at the Coca-Cola Arena on November 14.

Nemkov (20-2, 1 NC) enters the matchup riding significant momentum following his successful transition from the light heavyweight division, where he previously established himself as a dominant champion under the Bellator banner. During his tenure at 205 pounds, he secured four consecutive title defenses before moving up to the heavyweight class.

His opponent, Sergei Bilostenniy (15-4), looks to unseat the champion in what serves as a high-stakes encounter for the PFL heavyweight division. As the promotion continues to solidify its roster following the Bellator acquisition, this championship clash represents a key fixture for the organization’s international expansion efforts in Dubai. Further details regarding the remainder of the card are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
