Russian UFC fighter Roman Kopylov told that he enjoyed the fight under Brazilian jiu-jitsu rules with his compatriot Magomed Ismailov .
The fight took place during the ACBJJ 15 tournament in St. Petersburg. Ismailov won by a majority of the judges’ votes. Magomed is 37 years old, during his MMA career he has won 18 victories, suffered three defeats and tied one fight. Kopylov, 32, has 12 wins and two losses. In the UFC, he is on an early four win streak.
— It was very pleasant to share the carpet with Magomed. Everything went well, with some good trash talk. As for the fight, in general, everything went well – 0:0 (laughs). He just held me a little longer. And so he tried applying a painful, stifling application…I’m glad it didn’t work for him. And for my part, I also managed to make a few seemingly good shots and was able to defend against passes. It’s a little more difficult to do this without a cage. In any case, there is something to work on. And that’s not bad. I hope everyone liked it,” Kopylov told .
