Roman Koplyov won via unanimous decision over Marco Tulio with scores of 29-28, 29-28, 29-28 at UFC 328, bringing his UFC record to 7-5. The fight was another uneven performance from Koplyov, who scored knockdowns but failed to finish the Brazilian opponent despite having opportunities. The post notes disappointment that Koplyov chose to grapple rather than pursue the finish after dropping Tulio. The Russian absorbed significant damage throughout the bout and lost several exchanges, though he also landed some excellent attacks. Koplyov demonstrated strong kicks that were fast and well-disguised, showing good feinting ability, but continues to struggle with consistency and composure, resulting in another tense, back-and-forth fight similar to his previous bouts against Curtis and Robocop.
