Reigning Bellator light heavyweight champion Vadim Nemkov had to fight a virtual battle of the eyes with his opponent, Yoel Romero, as the Cuban, who was afraid of heights, could not be dragged to the 99th floor of the Willis Tower in Chicago, where a press conference was being held.
The absence of a contender for the championship belt was explained by the host of the event, Chael Sonnen.
“He’s apologizing to everyone, but trying to get up here is a battle he can’t win, and he knows it for sure,” American Gangster said. “Everyone has their own kryptonite, and now we know what Yoel has it”
One of the most intimidating fighters on the planet is terrified of heights in a five-year-old video that has gone viral online.
Recall that the light heavyweight title fight between Vadim Nemkov and Yoel Romero will be the main event of the Bellator 297 tournament, which will be held on June 16 in Chicago.
