Fairytale return for Ukrainian champ Yaroslav Amosov in Dublin

It was a fairytale return to the cage for Yaroslav Amosov in Dublin at Bellator 291 with the Ukrainian champion scoring a dominant win in his unification bout against interim champion Logan Storley.

After pausing his career to defend his native Ukraine, Amosov, competing a year and a day since his homeland was invaded by Russia, was greeted like a hometown hero at the 3Arena.

The crowd applauded as vignettes of his time on the frontlines played before the headline fighters entered the cage.

Amosov won all five rounds on each of the cards, and following the victory, he sent a message to his fellow Ukrainians.

"Ukrainian people, I love you," said Amosov. "One year yesterday, crazy Putin started a war in my country. Thank you, Ukrainian army for defending my country. Thank you who helped my country. Please don't forget."
