Vadim Nemkov will still compete after all later this month at PFL’s Road to Duabi Champions Series event. Nemkov, who was scheduled to face Corey Anderson, now will take on heavyweight veteran Tim Johnson on Jan. 25 at Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai. Anderson announced the cancellation of their bout nearly a month ago, claiming Nemkov refused to fight him because he wanted an “easier fight.” PFL did not announce a reason for the change. Bellator announced the news of the new matchup on Monday afternoon. UPDATE: Vadim Nemkov now faces Tim Johnson at the Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai on Saturday 25th January
