Bellator champion Yaroslav Amosov put in a dominant display as he dispatched Logan Storley at Bellator 291 in Dublin. Making his return after a layoff of almost two years, the welterweight carried the expectations of his people on his shoulders as he made a trip back to the steel cage on February 25. The Ukrainian fighter not only successfully defended his title for the first time, but also believes he has established himself as the best in the world.

Resonating the same, he issued an open challenge to the UFC champion to settle the contention. Notably, ‘Dynamo’ unified the 170 lbs title as he triumphed over the interim champion Storley on the scorecards.

The 29-year-old in the post-fight cage interview expressed his high-spirited emotions. The former combat sambo champion was relieved over the fact that he could give his country a good day. Further, he expressed his gratefulness for the support that helped him with good energy.

Following this, he put in a word for the UFC president Dana White and the current UFC welterweight champion Leon Edwards.

Thus, the Irpin native asserted, “I am here. If a UFC champion wants to fight, come to Bellator. Scott Coker will give the contract, and we’ll make the fight.”
