Yaroslav Amosov submits Alvarez with triangle choke in UFC debut

Yaroslav Amosov secured a dominant submission victory in his UFC debut, forcing Alvarez to tap to a triangle choke just 12 seconds into a grappling sequence. After Alvarez began landing strikes in the second round, Amosov executed a leg takedown followed by an explosive throw and immediately transitioned to the submission. This marks Amosov's third consecutive submission victory and improves his overall MMA record to 30-1, with his only loss coming to Jason Jackson in Bellator 2.5 years ago. Notably, Alvarez had never been submitted before this fight. Following the victory, Amosov performed a breakdance celebration and requested a top-10 opponent for his next bout.
