Sergei Kharitonov, Vadim Nemkov and Anatoly Tokov sign new, multi-fight deals with Bellator
A trio of streaking fighters will kick off 2019 with new multi-fight Bellator deals.
Russia’s Sergei Kharitonov, Vadim Nemkov and Anatoly Tokov have all re-signed with the promotion, MMAjunkie today learned from Bellator officials.
Kharitonov (28-6 MMA, 2-1 BMMA), who most recently became the fastest fighter to finish Roy Nelson, is set to meet Matt Mitrione at Bellator 216. The heavyweight bout will headline the event, which takes place at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn., on Feb. 15. A Strikeforce and PRIDE veteran, the 38-year-old has gone unbeaten in his past five bouts (including one no-contest).
Nemkov (10-2 MMA, 3-0 BMMA) was most recently seen upsetting former 205-pound champion Phil Davis at Bellator 209 last November. The light heavyweight, who represents the same team of MMA legend and Bellator heavyweight grand prix finalist Fedor Emelianenko, is on a five-fight winning streak. Prior to Davis, he beat another ex-champ in Liam McGeary.
Middleweight Tokov (27-3 MMA, 3-0 BMMA), also a member of Emelianenko’s team, has won all of this three bouts since his Bellator debut back in February 2018. After a TKO win over Francisco France, he submitted Vladimir Filipovic in the first round of their Bellator 200 encounter and, most recently, earned a decision over former 185-pound champion Alexander Shlemenko.
