Earlier today Bellator MMA invested in their future as they re-signed undefeated American Top Team prospect Jordan Young and picked up undefeated welterweight Yaroslav Amosov. Shawn Bitter of MMA-Today was the first to report Young re-upping with the promotion, however FloCombat has learned from a source in Bellator that he's signed a long term contract with the California based promotion.
Young (8-0 MMA, 3-0 BMMA) is coming off an impressive first-round submission victory over Alec Hooben at Bellator 185 last month. That win marked the sixth career submission victory for the 23-year-old. Young started his career in October 2014 primarily fighting for the Iowa based Midwest Cage Championship where he captured the 185-pound championship in 2015. Earlier this year Young signed with Bellator and has picked up wins over previously undefeatedmiddleweights Chris Harris and Tim Caron.
Amosov (19-0) has mainly cut his teeth in the Russian based Tech-Krep FC promotion throughout his career. The 24-year-old has only gone the distance twice in his career and boasts eight-career wins by knockout along with nine-submission victories. "Dynamo" won the vacant Tech-Krep FC welterweight title in June 2016 where he successfully defended the belt twice. Amosov most recently defeated Nathan Oliveira by first round submission this past August at Tech-Krep FC: Prime Selection 17.
