Prediction

Make no mistake, Bader is in for a fight in this one considering Nemkov’s size, demeanor and punishing striking style.

And while Bader’s wrestling has the potential to play a key role in the outcome,

particularly if he can shoot early to slow the pace down, Nemkov’s history of filthy leg kicks can’t be avoided. 

Bader is very much a different fighter thanks to his evolved striking,

and how much that offsets his already strong grappling game.

But if Nemkov can find success from the outside by targeting the champion’s legs ,

and forcing him into more of a standing duel,

seeing the title change hands is very much a possibility. 

Nemkov will need to be weary of Bader’s sneaky left hook that has become ,

a finishing weapon for him, along with a greatly improved jab.

But Nemkov better be certain to work quick, as Bader mentioned,

as the champ has enough cardio where if you give him the chance to rag doll you,

and win it without having to take the risk of being caught standing,

he very much will.
