Undefeated Bellator welterweight champion Yaroslav Amosov is set to take on interim welterweight champ, Logan Storley, in a title unification rematch at Bellator 291 on February 25 from the 3Arena in Dublin, Ireland.
The promotion officially announced the matchup via a tweet on Tuesday. Amosov makes his return to the cage after having to postpone his first title defense against Michael "Venom" Page this past May when he volunteered to take up arms and defend his home country of Ukraine from the ongoing Russian invasion. The pair's first meeting went down back at Bellator 252 in November 2020, where Amosov defeated Storley via a split decision.
