Russian Roman Kopylov in a duel with Brazilian Cesar Almeida, he demonstrated not his brightest fight, but achieved the desired result, the athlete’s manager Alexander Skaredin told .
On Sunday night in Newark, middleweight Kopylov defeated Almeida by split decision at UFC 302.
— The fight turned out to be quite close, but for me Roman’s victory is obvious. Maybe we should talk to the judge who gave Almeida the victory… Well, that doesn’t matter. The main thing is that we have results. Yes, this is not Roman’s brightest fight. I think in this fight he surprised a lot of people with his leg passes, his throws and his wrestling. But here the situation is such that the adversary strikes hard. And when you get a little addicted to features, for example, then it’s a tactical decision. It’s a shame that we couldn’t finish off our opponent in the first round when we had such an opportunity. But that’s okay, Roman still has a lot of good and brilliant fights ahead of him that he needs to prepare for. This is what we will do. I think Roman should fight his next fight in early fall. Naturally, we’re not talking about it yet. In about a week we will start talking with the organization and planning Roman’s next fight,” Skaredin told .
The UFC 302 tournament will be broadcast live on the channel.
