Time of the finish is 2:13 of the second. Vadim Nemkov looks great in putting Bruno Cappolezza to sleep with an arm triangle. #PFLvsBellator
Nemkov Inside the Distance at -165β Bruno has power on the feet, no question, but the minute heβs on his back he poses zero threat and Nemkov took full advantage ofβ¦ onto the next @Thecoachrules #PFLvsBellator
Vadim Nemkov choked Cappelozza out with an arm triangle. That's the best candidate on the roster to face Francis, in my opinion.
Vadim Nemkov should be in the UFC man
Oh shit Bruno caught him. Nemkov of course immediately level changes and hits a perfect takedown right into half guard. #PFLvsBellator
Congratulations to Vadim Nemkov!!! 3-0!! #PFLvsBellator
Nemkov looking fast and sharp for a 240lb HW #PFLvsBellator
10-9 Nemkov Nemkov while moving up to Heavyweight he is moving like a Light Heavyweight faster quicker and a wide variety of strikes that have landed #PFLvsBellator
Big fan of Bruno but he has his hands full with Nemkov. This could have been a RIZIN Grand Prix 2015 quarterfinal. #PFLvsBellator
