Dublin, Ireland – Bellator’s welterweight champion Yaroslav Amosov will face interim champion Logan Storley at Bellator 291 in Dublin on Feb. 25th, according to the promotion.
Amosov (26-0) returns from fighting in Ukraine to take on Storley (14-1) in the main event of Bellator 291 Bellator announced on Tuesday.
