The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is set to welcome a new star, Yaroslav Amosov, who is just two wins away from matching the legendary Khabib Nurmagomedov's record before a shocking knockout. This is a thrilling development for the welterweight division, as Dana White's promotion brings aboard a 28-1 professional with a dominant Bellator MMA record.
Amosov, a sparring partner of Oleksandr Usyk, has been a rising star in the MMA world. His signing with the UFC is a significant move, as he could have potentially matched Nurmagomedov's incredible undefeated streak had the promotion pursued him sooner. However, a recent setback occurred at Bellator 301, where Amosov suffered his first career loss to Jason Jackson, ending his 27-fight winning streak.
The Ukrainian star's attention now turns to the upcoming UFC 322 event, where he will closely observe the title fight between Jack Della Maddalena and Islam Makhachev. With his signing almost finalized, Amosov's focus is on replicating his previous form and making a strong impact in the UFC.
The latest news also highlights a potential hurdle for Nate Diaz's boxing match after his UFC retirement, as revealed by Dustin Poirier. Additionally, the article mentions Islam Makhachev's humble response to a fantasy fight with Georges St-Pierre, which has been praised by fans.
