Roman Kopylov possibly avoids UFC release with comeback win

Roman Kopylov pulled out a difficult victory against Marco Tulio, potentially saving himself from being cut by the UFC. Had he lost, it would have been his third consecutive defeat. Kopylov was losing the first round and a half but then began dropping Tulio repeatedly, scoring three knockdowns to bring his UFC total to nine knockdowns. The post expresses that despite Kopylov's speed, technique, powerful striking with hands and legs, and extensive amateur background, he could be performing at a higher level in the UFC. His 6-5 record is considered below his potential, though the author praises him for returning to winning form.
