Yaroslav Amosov, a skilled welterweight fighter, has wrapped up his contract with Bellator and is ready to explore new avenues in his professional journey. His unbeaten streak came to an end when he lost the Bellator welterweight title to Jason Jackson in November 2023. Currently ranked 13th in the USA TODAY Sports/MMA Junkie welterweight rankings, Amosov has hinted at starting fresh elsewhere.
In a heartfelt Instagram post, Amosov reflected on his six-year tenure with Bellator, highlighting milestones such as winning and defending the title, facing his first loss after 11 years, and engaging in his homeland’s conflict. He sees this as not an end but a beginning of a new chapter filled with fresh opportunities and trials.
The closure of Amosov’s message subtly suggests a potential shift to the UFC, given his sparse fights since 2021 due to his involvement in the battle for Ukraine against Russian forces. With a reinvigorated focus on his fighting career, the prospect of Amosov joining the UFC has piqued interest within the MMA community.
