“Thank you all for the support. My health is fine. I will be home soon,” Amosov wrote on social media.
The title fight headlining the Bellator 301 event in Chicago ended midway through the third round after Jackson stunned Amosov in a mid-range exchange before finishing the champion in the parterre. Prior to that, the challenger had successfully defended against his opponent’s passes and also dominated him in the standup.

In total, the Ukrainian has 27 professional victories, nineteen of which he won early.
