Yaroslav Amosov dreams of future five-round fight with ‘much blood’ in UFC

Yaroslav
Amosov wants an absolute war inside the Octagon. 

Amosov (30-1) made his sophomore
UFC appearance against Joel
Alvarez at UFC 328
on Saturday at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. Amosov
looked nearly flawless as he dominated Alvarez on the ground before
making him tap with an arm-triangle in the second round. 

Amosov admits that it is always good to finish a fight instead of
going the distance. However, the former Bellator
MMA welterweight champion also dreams of having a five-round
bloodbath inside the Octagon where he is tested to his limits.

“If can do knockout or submission, finish it, it’s of course much
better than full fight,” Amosov said in a post-fight interview with
the UFC. “But sometimes, my dream – full fight, five rounds, hard
fight, bones to bones. Much blood. Hard, very close
fight.” 

Looking Ahead

Amosov dominated Bellator’s welterweight division before suffering
his lone professional loss against Jason
Jackson in 2023. Amosov parted ways with Bellator when it was
taken over by PF, and fought on the regional circuit once before
signing with the UFC. “Dynamo” has finished both his UFC outings
via submission so far. Amosov also took up arms to defend his
homeland of Ukraine during the Russian invasion in 2022. Amosov
mentioned that he would be eyeing the clash between Sean Brady
and Joaquin
Buckley, scheduled to go down later on the UFC 328 card.

“Buckley vs. Brady, we will see how this plays out. I think this
fight makes sense,” Amosov said. “Because we are fighting on the
same card, same day. We need same time for recovery.”

Brady dominated Buckley on the ground for three rounds to earn a
unanimous decision win in their main card bout at UFC
328.
