Former Bellator light-heavyweight champion Phil Davis will get the first shot at the newly crowned 205lb king Vadim Nemkov according to the president of the promotion Scott Coker.
Long-time UFC fighter Corey Anderson made his Bellator debut this past weekend and looked sensational doing so against Melvin Manhoef. Despite that, ‘Overtime’ will need to wait for his shot at Bellator gold.
In an interview with MMA Junkie, Coker revealed he wants Anderson to have one more fight before he is given a title shot.
“Listen, I thought he did a great job,” Coker said. “I thought he did exactly what he was supposed to do. I don’t think he’ll get the shot next, but I think maybe one more fight and we’ll put him right in there with the champ – whoever the champ is at the time. He’s somebody who adds great depth to our roster at 205. That’s why I’ve always said we have the best light heavyweight division on the planet. He’s a major part of why we can say that.”
The Bellator boss was always excited by the thought of a rematch between Davis and Nemkov who went back and forth over three rounds in 2018.
“(Phil Davis) had a great fight with (Vadim) Nemkov last time. This will be a rematch. Phil has done a great job since then. That was a close fight. I’m not sure if you recall. I think it was in Israel last year and they had a war there. Phil just came off of a great win against Machida. I think Phil should be next in line.”
Since suffering a split decision loss to Nemkov, ‘Mr Wonderful’ has stringed together three straight wins. Davis stopped Liam McGeary and Karl Albrektsson before edging out former UFC middleweight champion Lyoto Machida on the judges’ scorecards in September.
Who would you prefer to see fight Vadim Nemkov next? Phil Davis or Corey Anderson?
Bellator light-heavyweight Corey Anderson has called for the winner of the upcoming Bellator Light-Heavyweight title fight between champion Vladim Nemkov and top contender Phil Davis.

Bellator light-heavyweight Corey Anderson has called for the winner of the upcoming Bellator Light-Heavyweight title fight between champion Vladim Nemkov and top contender Phil Davis.
Speaking at the post fight press conference following his victory in the main event of Bellator 251 against Melvin Manhoef, Anderson shared that while he wants to take some time off once he is back he is looking to fight for the title.
“Phil Davis and Nemkov the two fighting for the belt, I see they fighting, I want the winner there’s no reason why I shouldn’t get it,” Anderson said. “Bader is going up to Heavyweight to defend his belt so if he was staying at 205 I’d fight him but he’s gone. Lyotto just lost so why would I fight a loser I want somebody winning.”
When asked what he thought of the title matchup between Nemkov and Davis, Anderson said that he expect it to be a similar result to their first fight.
“We already seen Nemkov beat him once so I think he just got better he’s gonna do the same thing so technically I want Nemkov but if Phil wins I want Phil,” Anderson explained. “I want the belt, I want that belt on my wall I’ve been dreaming about it. I want that belt over my tv when I wake up in the morning everyday I see it, I did that.”
Anderson made the move to Bellator as the #4 ranked fighter in the UFC after suffering a loss to now Light-Heavyweight champion Jan Blachowicz. Following this Anderson and the UFC were unable to come to terms on financial compensation and after an injury sidelined him Anderson was let go from the company.
Shortly after this Anderson announced his move to Bellator making his debut at Bellator 251 where he would find the finish via TKO in round number two.

Former Bellator light heavyweight champion Phil Davis is set to return to the cage.
“Mr. Wonderful” meets Karl Albrektsson in the co-main event of Bellator 231 which takes place October 25 in the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut. The fight was confirmed by a Bellator official.
It will be his first outing since a second win over Liam McGeary at Bellator 220 in April. In that fight, he notably broke the former champion’s jaw which resulted in the TKO win.
He will now look to make it two wins in a row in his attempts to regain the light heavyweight title back. The former UFC star won the belt in 2016 but would lose it in a split decision to current champion Ryan Bader in 2017. Since then, he has gone 3-1 in Bellator competition. A win against Albrektsson could assure him of the next shot at Bader’s 205-pound belt.
As for Albrektsson, it will be his Bellator debut. He was signed by the promotion in June with his last outing being a unanimous decision win against Christiano Frohlich at Rizin 15.
Bellator 231 will be headlined by a heavyweight bout between Frank Mir and Roy Nelson. The contest will notably be a rematch of their UFC 130 contest back in May 2011. Nelson won that via unananimous decision.
