Yaroslav Amosov has started his UFC career impressively with two consecutive submission victories, including a finish of Alvarez who had never been submitted before. Amosov's throwing technique set up the submission finish in his latest performance. The Ukrainian fighter is expected to quickly climb into the top-10, possibly even top-5 of his division. Amosov has shown growth in his submission game, recording more submission wins in UFC than in his nine Bellator fights combined. In his post-fight interview, Amosov acknowledged nervousness due to the crowd but expressed confidence in his abilities across all aspects of MMA. He specifically called out the winner of the Brady-Buckley fight and requested a top-10 opponent from the UFC.
