Russian UFC fighter Roman Kopylov capable of providing decent resistance and Sean Strickland And Israel Adesanya . This opinion was expressed by the head of AMC Fight Nights Kamil Gadjiev .
Last weekend, Strickland defeated Adesanya via unanimous decision to win the UFC middleweight belt.
Kopylov has 11 wins and two losses in MMA, and his UFC winning streak is three fights. This next weekend, Kopylov will meet American Josh Fremd (11-4 in MMA).
— How would a fight between Vladimir Mineev and Sean Strickland go?
— In MMA, Strickland would have been the favorite, and he probably would have won. Quite simply because he is focused on that. After all, the question is one of training. We understand that Vova has changed. I hope that for the first time in a long time, the harmful martial arts public has tried to hear me. I said our guys could compete with the best and I named some big names. People laughed. And in the end, look what happens. Any Russian fighter above average and motivated can compete with the best. Easily! It’s not that there’s nothing in these tops, it’s just that ours weren’t finger-made. I will not take Vova (Mineev). I’m taking Romchik Kopylov. The guy, I think, won the Russian championship in hand-to-hand combat five times. And then you have to experience that… It’s such a colossal experience, and you won’t surprise these guys. You just need to believe in yourself. What, Kopylov won’t fight Adesanya? How will Adesanya surprise him? Or Strickland? Yes, in some places the fight is lame, we need to work on it, but in the striking technique he is better, ”reports the correspondent of , reporting Gadjiev’s words.
