Roman Kopylov defeated Marco Tulio via unanimous decision with all three judges scoring the bout 29-28 at UFC 328. Kopylov's UFC record now stands at 7-5. The analyst expressed disappointment that Kopylov did not finish Tulio after scoring knockdowns, questioning why he chose to grapple instead of pursuing the finish. The fight followed a familiar pattern for Kopylov of inconsistent performances with many absorbed strikes and lost exchanges, mixed with several high-quality offensive moments. Despite possessing power, excellent kicks that are fast and deceptive, and strong feinting ability, Kopylov continues struggling to dominate fights completely from start to finish, similar to his previous bouts against Curtis and Robocop.
