Logan Storley vs. Yaroslav Amsov
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. Interestingly, Amsov’s ability to secure anaconda chokes is undeniable, so Storley will need to watch where his neck is. With an incredible winning streak intact for both fighters, this bout is sure to deliver.
Emmanuel Sanchez vs. Daniel Weichel

The featherweight has a litany of finishes to his name, most recently taking out Ty-wan Claxton with a tight triangle choke. By the same token, Weichel has also been around the promotion a while. 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.
