Bellator 260: Amosov beats Lima to clinch welterweight title
Ukraine's Yaroslav Amosov will fight Logan Storley for the undisputed welterweight title at Bellator 291.
The bout in Dublin on 25 February will be the champion's first since enlisting in the military to help defend his country against Russia's invasion.
American Storley became interim champion in May, beating Michael Page while Amosov was unable to compete.
Amosov, 29, has the longest active unbeaten streak in professional MMA, winning all 26 of his fights.
He beat Brazil's Douglas Lima for the belt in June last year, but is yet to defend his title because of commitments in Ukraine.
