Team Fedor’s Sergey Bilostenniy challenges Nemkov at PFL
Dubai

Nemkov, a protégé of Fedor
Emelianenko, moved up to heavyweight in 2024 and captured PFL
gold last December.

Bilostenniy is 4-1 in the PFL and has earned notable finishes over
Karl
Williams, Tyrell
Fortune and former PFL champion Renan
Ferreira. Like Nemkov, he trains under the Team Fedor banner
and has previously shared training camps with the champion.

This marks the first PFL main event in Dubai since the promotion’s
merger with
Most Valuable Promotions.

“Dubai has become a special city for PFL and the site of some
unforgettable moments in our history,” PFL CEO John Martin said in
a press release. “Both fighters have roots in Team Fedor and
represent the next generation of Russia’s storied heavyweight
tradition and now they’ll meet to determine who sits atop one of
the most prestigious divisions in combat sports.”
