"“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.”"
"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."
Yaroslav Amosov improved to 30-1 with a UFC 328 win over Joel Alvarez at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. He dominated Alvarez on the ground and secured a second-round arm-triangle submission for the finish. Amosov said finishing is preferable to going the distance, while also describing a personal dream of a hard five-round fight with intense physical exchanges. He previously won the Bellator welterweight title, later suffered his only pro loss in 2023, and moved on from Bellator after its ownership change. He has finished both UFC appearances by submission and has also served in Ukraine’s defense during the 2022 Russian invasion. He plans to watch the Sean Brady vs. Joaquin Buckley matchup and believes a fight makes sense due to shared timing and recovery needs.
