Quick read
Yaroslav Amosov demonstrated elite grappling at his UFC debut by submitting Alvarez with an arm triangle just 12 seconds after completing an explosive takedown in the second round. Despite Alvarez finding success with strikes in round two, Amosov quickly secured a leg entry, executed an high-amplitude throw, and immediately locked in the submission. Alvarez had never been submitted before this fight. Since his loss to Jackson in Bellator 2.5 years ago, Amosov has won three consecutive fights by submission, including a preliminary bout against Millender in Cage Fury. His MMA record now stands at 30-1, and he performed a breakdance celebration before calling out a top-10 opponent.
