205 is in shambles. Only One Man can save the division...

Would Nemkov be the UFC Light Heavweight champion

He'd probably be top 5, but even if he could win the belt, he doesn't really reinvigorate the division.

He's just another contender with little name value.

I suppose he could have a trilogy with Hill, but that division needs a new star.

He's Fedors protégé so there is a very good chance he never fights in the UFC. That being said, he would do very well but I dunno bout being the champ.
 
funny how people ignore the success of gaethje, chandler, Jiri, big nog, rampage, shogun, like other fighters dont come from other orgs to the UFC all the damn time and fuck shit up

What don't you know? Hill, Jiri, Glover, Jan are all the last LHW champs. Name one that is a favorite over Nemkov? If he signed today the title is vacant so an immediate title shot is as realistic as anyone else they pick out of a hat like the last few UFC LHW title fights. Reyes vs Jan, Hill vs Glover, Jan vs Ankalaev; All names picked out of a hat frankly. Nemkov could easily be UFC LHW champion.
 
One fighter can't magically make a division that sucks good again.
