Roman Kopylov - Gregory Rodriguez: betting tip and bets for the fight

Current form

Roman Kopylov is a guy from Russia who, in his last fight on July 19, tripped over a Brazilian wall named Paulo Costa, losing to him by a judicial decision in July. This interrupted his modest chain of victories, which included that strange high-kick knockout against Chris Curtis and a split victory over Cesar Almeida. And before that, it was disassembled for spare parts by Anthony Hernandez. In a duel with Almeida, this striking monster from GLORY, Kopylov decided to play hit and run, and then just stole the rounds with takedowns, like a petty thief in an old western. 

The Russian is technical in his shots, but his statistics on significant hits are in the red – he strikes 4.74 per minute, and concedes 5.08. Against Costa, the score was 99-48 not in his favor. In the fight with Curtis, he was 130-142 behind before that final blow, and with Almeida – 41-58. This 33-year-old Russian has 14 wins – a dozen by knockouts, two by decisions – and four defeats. He once ruled Fight Nights Global as a champion.

And now we turn to the Brazilian, who gave Jack Hermansson a hard knockout in his last octagon appearance, as if to remind everyone that he's here for a reason. Before that, he was drowned in his own style by Jared Cannonier, finishing by TKO in the fourth round. Rodriguez throws real bombs in the rack, which makes you forget how strong he is in the fight and on the ground. He makes 2.21 takedowns in 15 minutes and holds 90 percent protection against transfers. This 33-year-old Latin American has 17 wins – ten by knockouts, three by decisions, four by submission – and six defeats. In 2021, he won the LFA title and immediately jumped into the UFC like a big Hollywood blockbuster.
