GrapplingStriking

Roman Kopylov is a Russian middleweight training with the Ratiborets team who has built his career on one-punch power, with 12 of his 15 wins coming by knockout. A southpaw with heavy hands, he has alternated highlight-reel finishes with tough decision losses to elite competition, most recently dropping back-to-back decisions to Paulo Costa and Gregory Rodrigues before rebounding with a unanimous decision over Marco Tulio at UFC 328. He now faces a hard-hitting prospect unbeaten in five UFC appearances, a step down in name value but not in danger.
