Ukrainian Bellator welterweight champion Yaroslav Amosov gave an emotional interview immediately after his victory over American Logan Storley at the Bellator 291 tournament in Dublin (Ireland). The 29-year-old Ukrainian thanked the Ukrainian military who protect our country from Russian invaders, as well as people who help Ukraine. He called the Kremlin dictator Vladimir Putin insane and, recalling the anniversary of the war in Ukraine, urged the world not to forget about the current situation in our country.. " Yesterday was the anniversary of the moment the mad Putin started the war in my country.. He wants to kill children, all Ukrainians. I want to thank the Ukrainian army for protecting my country. I want to thank everyone who helps my country. Please don't forget what is happening, because today this madman is attacking Ukraine, but we don't know what he will do tomorrow,"

Amosov defeated Storley by unanimous decision: three times at 50:45. He defended the Bellator welterweight title, which he won in June 2021, when he defeated the Brazilian Douglas Lima and became the first ever Ukrainian champion of the Bellator elite promotion..

In May last year, Amosov was supposed to fight with Briton Michael Page, but he refused to fight and remained in Ukraine during the period of Russian military aggression.. After the start of the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation into Ukraine, Amosov entered the territorial defense of Irpen, which was under the occupation of the Russian army. Amosov's track record includes 27 fights and 27 victories in mixed martial arts. For Storley, the defeat from the Ukrainian was the second in his career, he also has 14 wins..
