Bellator MMA’s welterweight division is one of their deepest in terms of developing talent. The promotion has heavily invested in young wrestlers - NCAA standouts like Joey Davis, Ed Ruth, Kyle Crutchmer and Logan Storley are on the rise at 170.
At this point, however, Ukrainian “Dynamo” Yaroslav Amosov stands above them all. At 24-0, the Sambo player has become a dangerous all-rounder. His game is highlighted by volume striking, with proficiency on both the lead and the backfoot, as well as highly competent wrestling and grappling.
From what we’ve seen thus far, Amosov does not fall into the trap that many well-rounded fighters do.
