The Ukrainian fighter Yaroslav Amosov has successfully defended his welterweight belt. The world was proud to know about Amosov joining the Ukrainian army after Russia invaded his country. However, MMA fans undoubtedly missed one of the greatest fighters inside the cage. Amosov chose to fight against Logan Storley exactly a year and a day after the Russian Army invaded his country. The two came face-to-face at Bellator 291 in Dublin. The 29-year-old has achieved a number of remarkable victories ever since he began his fighting career.
In his last fight against Storley, ‘Dynamo’ was able to defeat him via decision after round 5. This once again led him to Bellator’s welterweight throne. Previously, Amosov was scheduled to fight in May 2022 against the British fighter, Michael Page. Nonetheless, the bout was canceled as Amosov decided to fight for his country.
Now that he is back after a long break and was able to achieve a glorious win, his fellow MMA fighters and fans showered the Bellator star with great words. The UFC welterweight star, Jorge Masvidal, too showered the new champion with appreciation.
