Yaroslav Amosov, the undefeated Bellator welterweight champion, is finally making his comeback to the octagon after a long hiatus. He has been absent from fighting due to the ongoing war between his home country Ukraine and Russia. Despite the adversity, Amosov remains a top fighter in his weight class, with an impressive 26-0 record.
The 29-year-old’s absence from the cage was due to his service to his home country. He witnessed firsthand the devastating effects of the conflict on his fellow citizens. Despite the challenges, Amosov seems to have remained focused on his goal of fighting. Recently, a UFC fighter has come out in support of the 4x World Champion in Combat Sambo.
