They collapse to the canvas, and wake up with a severe concussion, and a horrible loss.But a blow to the body can cause bruising that can be felt for days, if not weeks afterward.A sadistic fighter seeking violence looks for finishes by striking the body.At the Bellator 274 event held inside the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut, Koreshkov showed that he is one of those fighters against Chance Rencountre.And boy, was it beautiful to see.Koreshkov scored his knockout in the very first round, and you can watch it right here:"It's what we prepared for," Koreshkov said after the win, in a statement sent to Insider. "The spinning back-kick is like a tradition for [MMA team] Storm School."Currently ranked No.9 in Bellator's welterweight division, Koreshkov could find himself placed higher after his win is factored in to the next update.He already has his next opponent in mind, and challenged English fighter Paul Daley to throw hands. "I know one guy – Paul Daley – I want to kick his ass. He doesn't like wrestling just like me. We will show a great stand-up fight and I will knock him out."Koreshkov, aptly nicknamed "The Spartan," advanced his pro MMA record to 25 wins (13 knockouts, four submissions, and eight decisions) against four losses.Elsewhere in the card, <keyword id="13213931" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="logan-storley" source="Orion">Logan Storley</keyword> defeated <keyword id="13213932" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="neiman-gracie" source="Orion">Neiman Gracie</keyword> in a main event that may have been designed to showcase two ground game experts, but the fight itself produced a surprising amount of strikes.Storley took home the unanimous decision win with scores of (48-47, 50-45, and 49-46)."I was stung for a little bit but I was playing and moving," said Storley after the fight, in a statement sent to Insider."And then he started wearing himself out and I landed it. I'm a fighter now. That proved it right there. Any doubt I ever had about taking a punch, fighting the best guys – that's the No. 4 guy in the world – and I just beat him."It was 25 minutes on the feet. That was the most fun I've ever had competing in my life."He continued by remarking that he is now yearning for a title shot in the welterweight division. "I want the belt," he said. "That's why I got in this business … I want to be the best in the world and I want the title next."Earlier in the card, Bellator mega prospect <a href="https://www.insider.com/category/aviv-gozali" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Aviv Gozali</a> suffered a shock loss — the first of his career — when he was upset by Bobby King in a dominant performance.

Bellator MMA fighter Andrey Koreshkov wrecked his opponent's world with a nasty spinning back kick to the body

<ul class="summary-list"><li>MMA fighter Yaroslav Amosov returns to action for the first time since Russia invaded Ukraine.</li><li>The Bellator MMA champion retrieved his belt from the rubble in Irpin, Ukraine, last year and defends it February 25.</li></ul>Scorch marks littered the exteriors of hollowed-out buildings in Irpin after Russian forces shelled the city in the weeks that followed the country's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.The Battle of Irpin spanned a little more than a month.Russia's offensive began with missile strikes, <a href="https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20220307-hand-to-hand-combat-street-battles-rage-on-kyiv-s-edge" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to France 24</a>, but a Ukrainian counter — marked with urban fighting, and hand-to-hand combat — destroyed armored vehicles and helped to reclaim the city.Irpin was liberated by the end of March.Before the battle reached its worst point, the mother of <a href="https://www.insider.com/category/yaroslav-amosov" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Yaroslav Amosov</a>, one of the city's top athletes, hid his championship belt in her home before evacuating to safety, a source close to Amosov told Insider last year.That home was later shelled, but Amosov, alongside other soldiers in Irpin, went on a mission to retrieve the <a href="https://www.insider.com/category/bellator-mma" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bellator MMA</a> title. Dressed in military gear, Amosov found the belt, still intact, and held it aloft for pictures, which were posted to Instagram.<h2>A 'Russian rocket can hit' at any moment and 'people [in Irpin] could die,' Amosov said</h2><div type="image" title="Yaroslav Amosov, Bellator MMA champion." height="624" width="900" msid="98212926" hostid="261" sizebytes="117646"></div>"It was a great day," Amosov, through a translator, told Insider this week. "All my friends were around, they filmed it, and … it became a thing, yes, definitely a great moment to retrieve the belt because of what it meant at the time my city was liberated."<a href="https://www.insider.com/ukraine-war-yaroslav-amosov-says-city-is-on-fire-destroyed-2022-5" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Half of Irpin's critical infrastructure was decimated</a> in the early months of the war. The city, once a place of happiness, was instead laid to waste as it was "on fire, destroyed," <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2022/05/10/sport/yaroslav-amosov-mma-bellator-ukraine-russian-invasion-spt-intl/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Amosov told CNN last year</a>.Life there has since evolved to a new normal. Things aren't like they were, Amosov told Insider, but people are meeting for coffee, and eating at Italian restaurants."People are out and about," he said. "But at any moment a Russian rocket can hit, and people could die. So it's not normal as other people's normal, but it's better than it was, and we're hoping things continue to normalize."<h2>Amosov fights for the first time in almost two years Saturday when he headlines an MMA show in Europe</h2><div type="image" title="Yaroslav Amosov." height="563" width="1000" msid="98212930" hostid="261" sizebytes="49328"></div>After retrieving his belts, Amosov said in <a href="https://twitter.com/BellatorMMA/status/1628132946824826882" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a Bellator MMA promo video</a> that his friends encouraged him to defend that title. So he has been training — splitting time in Germany and in Florida — to hold onto this cherished belt he pulled from the rubble. On Saturday, February 25, at the Bellator 291 event in Dublin, Ireland, he will compete in a rematch against Logan Storley. It's his first fight since winning the title by out-pointing Muay Thai master Douglas Lima at Bellator 260 in June 2021."I feel great, and excited to be back," Amosov told Insider.There are positive emotions, he said, adding that he finds motivation from any news that comes from Ukraine."Even the struggles that people are going through and the uncertainties serve as a great motivator" for this fight, he said.<h2>Amosov: 'Putin is crazy'</h2>In a final message, Amosov said he didn't want to speak too critically of Vladimir Putin but feels "it's pretty clear" that people from Ukraine, and "all over the world," want the Russian president to end the conflict."He entered a sovereign country for no reason, and he's killing innocent women and children with no clear goal in mind," Amosov said."Putin is crazy," he finished.The Bellator 291 event takes place at Dublin's 3Arena and will be broadcast in the US on Showtime from 4 p.m. ET / 1 p.m. PT.
