Amosov submits Alvarez in 12 seconds after takedown in second round

Yaroslav Amosov defeated Alvarez by submission after a dominant grappling sequence in the second round. Despite Alvarez landing strikes in standup during the round, Amosov executed a leg attack, performed an amplitude throw, immediately transitioned to an arm triangle, and forced the tap in just 12 seconds of ground action. This marks Amosov's third consecutive submission victory since his loss to Jason Jackson in Bellator 2.5 years ago, improving his MMA record to 30-1. Alvarez had never been submitted before this fight. After the victory, Amosov performed breakdancing and called for a top-10 opponent, cementing his status as one of the best Slavic grapplers in MMA history.
