Amosov captured the promotion’s 170-pound title when he dominated Douglas Lima at Bellator 260 in June. Unbeaten in his pro MMA career, the 28-year-old Ukrainian combat sambo champion has finished 19 of his 26 pro wins and will look to notch his first title defense against the streaking Page on enemy territory.

Since suffering his first-career loss to Lima in the Bellator grand prix semifinals in May 2019, “MVP” has won six straight. He was able to avenge his knockout loss to Lima in his most recent outing in October. when he edged him out at Bellator 267 in London.
