www.sherdog.comHere are the latest highlights I could confirm about Yaroslav Amosov up to May 2026, based on recent reporting:
- The UFC has shown strong interest in Amosov, with reports in 2025 indicating they signed him and planned a promotional debut soon after his return from competition in Bellator and subsequent fights. This signalled a potential move into the UFC welterweight division and a title-contending trajectory.[1]
- Amosov remains one of the most highly regarded Ukrainian fighters, having held the Bellator Welterweight Championship and built a long winning streak prior to joining the UFC ranks, with rankings placing him among top welterweights in recent years.[2]
- Media coverage through late 2024–2025 suggested he was working toward UFC competition, including anticipated appearances on UFC event cards and discussions about his future in the UFC welterweight division.[3][7]
