The Russian’s chances Romana Kopylova and American Anthony Hernandez in a head-to-head match at the UFC 298 tournament, they are equal, the Russian fighter told Valery Myasnikov .
Kopylov and Hernandez will meet on February 17 at a tournament in Anaheim. The Russian will replace Ikram Aliskerov, who will not be able to participate in the fight due to an infection.
Kopylov is 32 years old; During his MMA career, he had 12 wins and two losses. The Russian has won his last four UFC fights ahead of schedule. The last time Kopylov stepped into the octagon was in September. Hernández has 11 wins and two losses.
— Roman is a very strong attacker, but there are some problems with grappling. Additionally, it is small for this weight and an opponent can take advantage of these flaws. And if the fight ends, Roman could be in trouble. But if the fight takes place in a standing position, then the opponent has no chance. So overall the chances are 50/50.
Hernandez is better at wrestling, Roman is better at stand-up. Whoever realizes its benefits will win. In general, I will give 51 to 49 in favor of Kopylov, because we must not forget that he has Russian mental strength,” Myasnikov told .
