Yaroslav Amosov, the Bellator welterweight champion, explained why he had a much better second fight against Storley than the first.
“Before the rematch, I said that this fight would be different, because last time I had a different camp, a different fight, a different recovery. Everything was different. I had to lose a lot of kilos, I had two fights in a couple of months. I didn't recover, but Bellator offered me a duel. I only had about 4-6 weeks, after which I started to prepare. I gained a lot of weight, because I just relaxed after the last fight. Now I had a very good camp, my body recovered, I trained differently. Time goes by and every day I get better. I train hard every day. I have the best team. It doesn't matter who fights me. I have to think not about the opponent, but about myself.”
