— A very cool fight that will attract the attention of at least all fans of Russian mixed martial arts. I will be happy to watch this fight myself. Honestly, it’s hard to give someone preference, because there are many different shades. So I can’t even name a favorite. As trivial as it may seem, it’s 50/50, but that’s the whole point of the confrontation. I’m talking about the sports aspect. As for the media… Wherever Ismailov is, there is always noise. You definitely shouldn’t pay attention to their first fight – it was a long time ago. One thing is certain: everyone will benefit from this fight. And the leagues, and Ismailov, and Tokov, and the public,” Kopylov told .
In mid-December, Kopylov had an exhibition fight with Ismailov under the rules of Brazilian jiu-jitsu.
Ismailov is 37 years old, during his MMA career he won 18 victories, suffered three defeats and one fight ended in a draw. Tokov, 33, has 30 wins and three losses.
