Analysis
Yaroslav Amosov is a Ukrainian fighter competing at welterweight, who came up through combat sambo before turning to professional MMA. He won the Bellator welterweight title on June 11, 2021, beating Douglas Lima by unanimous decision at Bellator 260, becoming the first Ukrainian-born Bellator champion.
Career Path
Born September 9, 1993, in Irpin, in the Kyiv region, Amosov began combat sambo at age 15. He won world (WCSF) and European (ECSF, in 2013 and 2014) titles in the discipline, as well as the Eurasia title in 2014, and received the title of Honored Master of Sports of Ukraine in March 2015. Moving into MMA, he won the vacant Tech-Krep FC welterweight title in June 2016 against Roberto Soldic, then defended it twice in 2017, both times by first-round submission.
Bellator and UFC Career
Signed by Bellator in November 2017, Amosov made his promotional debut in July 2018 with a win over Gerald Harris. He then strung together wins in the organization on his way to a welterweight title shot. He won the belt on June 11, 2021, beating Douglas Lima by unanimous decision at Bellator 260. A planned defense against Michael Page at Bellator 281 in May 2022 was called off after Amosov withdrew, staying in Ukraine to take part in the country’s defense during the Russian invasion. He defended his title on February 25, 2023, at Bellator 291, beating interim champion Logan Storley by unanimous decision to unify the belt. He lost the title on November 17, 2023, at Bellator 301, stopped by a third-round knockout from Jason Jackson. In September 2024, Amosov announced he was no longer under contract with Bellator after six years with the organization. He then submitted Curtis Millender with a first-round anaconda choke at CFFC 140, a Cage Fury Fighting Championships event held in Philadelphia on March 14, 2025, before signing with the UFC. He made his promotional debut there on December 13, 2025, beating Neil Magny by first-round submission (anaconda choke). His next fight, and his most recent to date, came against Joel Álvarez on May 9, 2026, at UFC 328, won by submission (arm-triangle choke) in the second round, earning a Performance of the Night bonus.
Fighting Style
Coming up through combat sambo, Amosov relies on recognized ground control and submission skills, combined with strong wrestling to bring the fight to the mat. His professional record includes a large share of submission wins, confirming this grappling-forward approach, complemented by an ability to finish by knockout as well. His forced layoff during the Russian invasion of Ukraine, when he stayed in his home country rather than defend his title, did not keep him from returning to the top level upon his return to competition.
Record
- Bellator welterweight champion (June 11, 2021, against Douglas Lima)
- Title defense and unification (February 25, 2023, against Logan Storley)
- Title lost by KO (November 17, 2023, against Jason Jackson)
- Submission win over Neil Magny in his UFC debut (December 13, 2025)
- Submission win over Joel Álvarez, Performance of the Night bonus (May 9, 2026)
