Ukrainian MMA champion recovers world title belt from basement of bombed home

Bellator welterweight champion Yaroslav Amosov was able to retrieve his world title belt from the remains of his home which was bombed by Russian troops.

The fighter has taken time away from MMA to fight on the frontline in the war on Ukraine, where his family were the victims of a bombing in recent days. But his mother made sure to store his belt in a very safe place in the family home.

And in a video posted to Instagram, he showed himself descending into the bowels of his destroyed family home and finding the strap, which he won from Douglas Lima last summer. He was set to defend it next month in London against Michael 'Venom' Page, but opted out of the fight to remain in the war effort.
