UFC newcomer Yaroslav Amosov has made it clear that he wants to go after the UFC welterweight championship after his debut victory last night.

At UFC Vegas 112, Yaroslav Amosov made his long-awaited jump over to the Ultimate Fighting Championship. While many aren’t quite sure as to what his full potential will be at 170 pounds, everyone knows from his Bellator days that he is dangerous – and he was able to prove that with a comprehensive victory over mixed martial arts veteran Neil Magny.

It was a solid performance from Yaroslav Amosov, and it comes in the midst of a run where fighters coming over from Bellator/PFL haven’t quite been able to live up to the hype.
