Kopylov gave a prediction for the fight between Ismailov and Tokov

Russian UFC middleweight Roman Kopylov shared his opinion on the fight between his compatriots Magomed Ismailov and Anatoly Tokov, who will meet on March 9 at the ACA 172 tournament in Moscow.

“Both are good fighters, but given their youth, and experience in Bellator, I will give preference to Anatoly – 60 to 40 in his favor,” Kopylov said in an interview with the channel “Ushataika”. “He’s younger, had some serious fights, had a good fight with the Bellator champion, although he lost. He had more serious competition in his last few fights.”

The bout between the Russian middleweights will be a rematch – their first fight took place almost eleven years ago under the M-1 Global banner and ended with Tokov winning by kimura in the first round.

Roman Kopylov, 32, is riding a streak of four wins by knockout in the UFC, and the Russian will have his next fight on February 17 at UFC 298 in Anaheim against American Anthony Hernandez.
