Kopylov: “We planned to return to the octagon in mid-autumn, but the UFC offered an interesting fight for August”

Russian fighter Roman Kopylov told that he plans to return to the Octagon in September-October, but the UFC offered him a very interesting fight with Brazilian Brunno Ferreira.

Kopylov’s manager Alexander Skaredin told on Friday that the UFC middleweight team had signed a contract to fight Ferreira on August 24 in Las Vegas. In early June, Kopylov defeated Brazilian Cesar Almeida by split decision at UFC 302.

“My team and I were planning to return at the end of September or beginning of October, but the UFC asked us to play at the end of August and offered us an opponent with whom we would have a very brilliant fight. It was very difficult to refuse this, and after consulting with the team and the coach, we accepted the fight. We start training in Dagestan at the beginning of July and I plan to go to this fight in advance to avoid acclimatization, which was one of the main problems in the last fights,” Kopylov told .

The 33-year-old Russian, who competes at middleweight, has 13 wins and three losses in MMA. Ferreira, 31, has 12 wins and one loss.

All UFC tournaments are broadcast live on and Match! Fighter, as well as on matchtv.ru and sportbox.ru websites.
