At Bellator 298, former interim Bellator welterweight champion Logan Storley took on Brennan Ward in the principle occasion. The non-title bout was scheduled for 5 five-minute rounds.
Storley hoped to rebound from the final loss that price him his likelihood at turning into the undisputed titleholder. Yaroslav Amosov defeated him by unanimous choice at Bellator 291 on Feb. 25 to stay the Bellator Welterweight Champion and lengthen his undefeated document to 27-0.
The previous champion was in a position to get Ward to the bottom and land a number of punches till he stopped him for a TKO.
Within the co-main occasion, heavyweights Valentin Moldavsky and Steve Mowry had their rematch. Their first struggle ended with a no contest after Moldavsky unintentionally eye-poked Mowry within the first spherical at Bellator 284: Gracie vs. Yamauchi on Aug. 12, 2022. This time Moldavsky dominated Mowry for 3 rounds to win the struggle.
