Erick Silva: Bellator 216 opponent Yaroslav Amosov never fought someone like me

Yaroslav Amosov enters his second Bellator bout riding a perfect 20-0 record as a mixed martial arts fighter, but Erick Silva vows to prove he doesn’t belong in the top tier just yet.

The Brazilian, a longtime UFC veteran, signed with Bellator after scoring a comeback victory under the LFA banner in 2018, and Amosov, unbeaten in the sport, looks to go 2-0 in the company after a decision win over Gerald Harris in his debut. “The Tiger” and “Dynamo” colide in the main card portion of Bellator 216 in Uncasville, Conn.
