Sharpening his skills at Sanford MMA, Storley remains an undefeated threat to the welterweight division. As a four-time NCAA-All American champion, his wrestling credentials are off the charts. Fighting against the American, Amsov has remained undefeated since starting his professional career in 2012.

However, their fight at Bellator 252 will surely send both men on different trajectories in their careers. Even though Weichel has gone to decision in his last four bouts, Sanchez has a habit of bringing the dog out of his opponent.
