Yaroslav Amosov defeated his opponent with a lightning-fast submission at UFC 328, showcasing the power of elite wrestling combined with strong ground skills. While Alvarez was finding success striking in the second round, Amosov secured a leg entry, executed an explosive throw, immediately locked in an arm triangle, and forced the tap in just 12 seconds. This marks Amosov's third consecutive submission victory since his loss to Jason Jackson in Bellator 2.5 years ago, including a win over Josh Millender in Cage Fury. Notably, Alvarez had never been submitted before this fight. Amosov's professional record now stands at 30-1, and after the bout he celebrated with breakdancing and called for a top-10 opponent. The reporter considers Amosov among the best Slavic wrestlers in MMA history.
