Russian fighter Uzair Abdourakov said that the UFC middleweight Roman Kopylov helped him a lot in preparing for the ACA fight with his compatriot Anatoly Boyko.
Abdurakov will meet Boyko in a welterweight bout on Friday in Moscow at the ACA 178 tournament.
— We worked a little with Roman because he had appendicitis. I consider Kopylov one of the best in Russia. He showed me and told me a lot. The work was tight, mostly in a standing position. Tomorrow you will see what I learned by training with a left-hander,” the correspondent reports, according to Abdurakov’s words.
Abdurakov has 18 wins, losses and a draw, Boyko has 10 wins and two losses in MMA.
The ACA 178 tournament will be marked by the Heavyweight Grand Prix final between Evgeniy Goncharov and Adam Bogatyrev.
