Yaroslav Amosov submits Joel Alvarez in UFC debut, calls for top-10 opponent

Yaroslav Amosov submitted two strong opponents in his UFC start, including Joel Alvarez who had never been submitted before. Amosov secured the finish with a throw into a submission. He is now winning more fights by submission in the UFC than in his nine Bellator bouts, showing growth in his grappling viscosity and control density. Alvarez could not break Amosov's grip throughout the first round. After the fight, Amosov stated he was nervous due to the crowd, acknowledged he could move better, and requested a top-10 opponent, specifically mentioning the winner of Brady vs Buckley. He expressed some dissatisfaction with his performance despite the impressive victory.
