The Russian announced this to his fans on a social network.
“On improved conditions and four fights! Oh, we’ll make some more noise! Full throttle for training! There is a lot of work ahead!” Kopylov wrote.
Two weeks ago, 31-year-old Roman Kopylov scored his second straight stoppage victory in the organization, finishing with a TKO in the second round of American Punahili Soriano. Four months earlier, the Russian fighter knocked out the Italian Alessio Di Chirico, thereby closing two defeats in confrontations with Karl Roberson and Albert Duraev.
It should be noted that Kopylov entered the fight with Soriano without having an extended contract in his hands, but his performance impressed the UFC president, Dana White, so much that the Russian received not only a new agreement, but also a bonus for “Performance of the Night”.
