Bellator champion Vadim Nemkov disclosed he battled kidney problems in 2022 that severely impacted his cardio during training and his first fight with Corey Anderson. He could only maintain energy for one round in sparring before exhausting completely, a pattern that carried into the actual bout. After extensive medical testing, doctors identified the kidney issue and prescribed a legal pharmaceutical medication that resolved the problem. Nemkov has since eliminated all sports supplements from his diet, including creatine, protein, and BCAAs, as they place strain on the kidneys. He now relies only on vitamins like omega-3, fish oil, magnesium, and vitamin B, and reports feeling no worse without the supplements as long as his nutrition and sleep are optimized.
