Bellator kicks off their June schedule on Friday with Bellator 260 from the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn. The main event of the show is Douglas Lima defending the welterweight championship against the undefeated Yaroslav Amosov.
Standing in the way of a first successful title defense is Amosov. The 27-year-old earned the title shot by going 6-0 in his promotional run, including a split decision win over Logan Storley in his most recent outing at Bellator 252.
Lima is viewed as one of the best welterweights in the world and a win over Amosov would cement it.
Can he get it done or do we see a new welterweight champion?
