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

Yaroslav Amosov submitted two strong opponents in impressive fashion during his UFC debut, finishing Alvarez with a technique that had never worked against the Spaniard before. Amosov executed a powerful throw directly into the submission. The Ukrainian fighter is expected to quickly move into the top-10 or even top-5 of the welterweight division. His grappling has evolved significantly, now recording more submission victories in UFC than in nine Bellator fights. In the post-fight interview, Amosov acknowledged feeling nervous due to the crowd, expressed love for grappling while emphasizing he is a complete MMA fighter, and called out the winner of the Brady-Buckley fight for his next bout.
