Six months ago, world champion MMA fighter Yaroslav Amosov should have been defending his welterweight title at Bellator 281 in London. Instead, the Ukrainian had returned to his homeland to help in the war effort following Russia’s invasion on February 24. Now, Amosov will make his highly anticipated return to the cage at Bellator 291 in Dublin, Ireland on February 25, 2023, to defend his belt against interim title holder Logan Storley.
“It was a difficult decision to return to MMA, and I didn’t come to it lightly. “I wasn’t even fully on board for it, but my family and friends kept pushing me to return to fighting. I remember just crossing the border from Ukraine, I felt horrible. I constantly get news from my loved ones and family who are still in Ukraine about people who are no longer with us. “I’ve lost great friends in this war, training partners; it’s horrible. It’s a very volatile situation.
