Vadim Nemkov Re-Signs With PFL Through 2027, Cooling UFC Pursuit

Nemkov says UFC talks offered worse terms.

Overview

Donn Davis announced a multi-year pact that keeps Nemkov under PFL contract through the end of 2027, putting any UFC move off until 2028.
PFL floated potential heavyweight matchups for Nemkov that include Francis Ngannou, Renan Ferreira, Oleg Popov, and a yet‑to‑be‑announced signing.
In a translated interview cited by outlets, Nemkov said the UFC’s offer was inferior and conveyed limited interest in fighters from Russia.
The former Bellator light heavyweight champion has shifted to PFL heavyweight with wins over Bruno Cappelozza and Tim Johnson.
Reports indicate Nemkov is targeting a return to the PFL cage in November.
