Vadim Nemkov disclosed that kidney problems in 2022 caused severe conditioning issues that affected his first fight with Corey Anderson. He would gas out after one round in sparring sessions and felt like his fuel tank was empty by the second round. Medical tests eventually identified the kidney issue, and doctors prescribed a legal over-the-counter medication that resolved the problem. Nemkov now avoids all sports supplements including creatine, protein, and BCAAs, as they place additional stress on the kidneys. He attributes the kidney damage to aggressive weight cuts earlier in his career. Since making these changes and maintaining proper nutrition, sleep, and vitamin intake, Nemkov reports feeling no worse without the supplements.
