Roman Koplov defeats Marco Tulio by unanimous decision at UFC 328

Roman Koplov earned a unanimous decision victory over Marco Tulio with all three judges scoring the fight 29-28 at UFC 328. The win brings Koplov's UFC record to 7-5. Despite scoring knockdowns against the Brazilian fighter, Koplov did not pursue a finish and instead transitioned to grappling, which raised questions about his fight strategy when a stoppage appeared within reach. The bout continued a pattern in Koplov's recent performances of inconsistent, back-and-forth fights with many exchanges lost despite landing several high-quality attacks. While Koplov demonstrated his power and effective kicking game with fast, deceptive strikes, he has struggled to dominate opponents from start to finish in his recent outings.
