DATE CHANGE - Bellator 291: Amosov Vs. Storey 2 will now take place on Saturday, 25 February 2023
Two months ago, the best fans in the world helped propel BELLATOR MMA 285 to a record-breaking gate at 3Arena. Today, the Paramount-owned promotion has announced a can’t-miss BELLATOR Welterweight World Championship unification bout as the main event of BELLATOR MMA 291, which is set for an updated date of Saturday, Feb. 25, 2023.
Welterweight World Champion Yaroslave Amosov (26-0) returns to the BELLATOR cage after the heroic defense of his home country of Ukraine, and is set for a rematch against interim titleist Logan Storley (14-1). Amosov is one of the top fighters in the world and currently holds the longest active unbeaten streak in all of MMA. Perfect through his first 26 professional fights, he is only three wins away from eclipsing retired MMA star Khabib Nurmagomedov’s record of 29 consecutive wins.
Storley, a four-time NCAA D1 All-American wrestler at the University of Minnesota, will look to make the necessary adjustments to spoil Amosov’s entry into the history book and avenge his sole professional blemish when he dropped a tense split decision to the Ukrainian in November 2020. The 30-year-old Kill Cliff FC product is currently riding a three-fight winning streak.
