Amosov took on Joel Alvarez in a welterweight booking at UFC 328 last weekend in Newark, New Jersey. Amosov barely broke a sweat while dominating Alvarez on the ground before submitting him in the second round. The Ukrainian star also earned a $100,000 performance bonus for his win.

Amosov recently revealed that he had suffered a massive black eye in sparring just a couple of weeks before UFC 328. While Amosov usually suffers minor cuts and bruises during fight camp, this one was going so well that it almost had him worried. Amosov was assured that everything was in place when he suffered a black eye just two weeks before fight night.
No Such Thing as Perfect
“If this video gets posted, it will be after the fight,” Amosov said on social media. “There’s no perfect camp, every time I’m in camp, something happens to me always: a minor cut, a minor injury. Something that doesn’t stop me but it just tells me I need to adjust my schedule a bit and rest for a day or two. And a couple of days ago I thought damn, everything’s great, not a single injury. I was even scared. I thought what’s going on? Weird, really weird.”
Amosov (30-1) added after showing off his black eye, “So, everything is in the right place. I am actually glad nothing has changed.”
Amosov has finished both his UFC fights via submission so far. “Dynamo” is eyeing a big name and tougher matchup for his next outing.
