Promotion officials announced the rematch in a release on Tuesday. Additionally, it was revealed that the event has been moved from Friday, Feb. 24 to Saturday, Feb. 25. Amosov defeated Storley via split decision in their first meeting at Bellator 252 in November 2020.

Bellator 291 takes place at 3Arena in Dublin and will air on Showtime in the United States at 4 p.m.ET/1 p.m. PT. Pedro Carvalho will face Jeremy Kennedy in the featherweight co-main event, while a women’s 145-pound clash pitting Sinead Kavanagh against Janay Harding is also slated for the main card.

Amosov claimed welterweight gold with a five-round verdict over Douglas Lima at Bellator 260 in June 2021 to improve his professional mark to 26-0. The 29-year-old Ukraine native has been on hiatus from Bellator to help defend his home country from Russian invasion, and an interim 170-pound belt was created in his absence.

Storley, meanwhile, has won three straight fights since the loss to Amosov. Most recently, the four-time NCAA All-American wrestler claimed the interim welterweight title with a split-decision triumph against Michael Page in the Bellator 281 headliner on May 13. Storley owns a 14-1 career mark, with nine triumphs coming under the Bellator banner.

Nine preliminary bouts were also confirmed for Bellator 291: Oliver Enkamp vs. Luca Poclit at welterweight; Karl Moore vs. Maciej Rozanski at light heavyweight; Brian Moore vs. Luca Iovine at bantamweight; Daniele Scatizzi vs. Dmytrii Hrytsenko at welterweight Piotr Niedzielski vs. Richie Smullen at featherweight; Charlie Ward vs. Mike Shipman at middleweight; Norbert Novenyi Jr. vs. Andy Manzolo at middleweight; Asael Adjoudj vs. Callum Murrie at featherweight and Elina Kallionidou vs. Jena Bishop at flyweight. The prelims air on the Bellator MMA YouTube channel, the Showtime Sports YouTube channel and Pluto TV at 11:30 a.m. ET/8:30 a.m. PT.
