Yaroslav Amosov has a dance partner for his UFC debut.
The former Bellator MMA champion, who recently signed with the Las Vegas-based promotion, will lock horns with Neil Magny at UFC on ESPN 73 on Dec. 13. Best Fight Picks was first to report the booking. UFC on ESPN 73 takes place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas and is headlined by a flyweight clash pitting Brandon Royval against Manel Kape.
A Matchup of Veterans
Amosov has lost just once in 29 professional bouts — a third-round knockout loss to Jason Jackson in his final Bellator appearance in November 2023. The 32-year-old Ukrainian returned to action in March, when he submitted Curtis Millender in the opening round at Cage Fury Fighting Championships 140. “Dynamo” owns notable wins over the likes of Logan Storley (twice), Douglas Lima, Erick Silva, Gerald Harris and Roberto Soldic.
The 38-year-old Magny holds UFC records for most welterweight appearances, wins and fight time. “The Haitian Sensation” is 2-0 thus far in 2025 with finishes of Jake Matthews and Eizeu Zaleski dos Santos to his credit.
