- Roman Kopylov is steadily climbing up the UFC rankings, disposing of opposition both with his hands and his devastating legs. The Siberian knockout artist guarantees a spectacle every time he steps into the Octagon and soon can join the title race. It’s time to witness this curly-haired striker's path through the trials of combat sports.

This dude serves more liver damage than Jack Daniels.
Maker's Mark or bust!
Hahaha :)
Such discipline. No showmanship, no trash talking, just business. Sadly UFC doesn't give much support to fighters who aren't controversial. I want to see more of this dude, he is great.
absolutly UFC will take over by rusian guys.. all division... that why...
you just decribes everything that makes the ufc entertaining, this is why he will never be a star
Contrary to what Hollywood portrays .. Russians are gentlemen, Westerners are rather loud!
@@larrybaba5635yup. They r disciplined and rather well behaved than the americans
he could be a star if he keeps winning even if quiet, but it will take much much longer then it would if he was more vocal @@cccadasqweqwe
Love this guy! So humble, quiet and a pure champion in making.
@@Thomas-yo5hn what’s tattoos got to do with it lol
@@Thomas-yo5hnYep exactly what dana white hates.
@@_cofred4146 come on man. bros get tattoos too look cool.
hitting livers all day long
@@Thomas-yo5hnhey man I like my tattoos what's the beef 😂
He did the best thing he could do, he learned how to grapple and became a monster! His fights are fun to watch. Just shows how brutal body blows can get.

Hilarious, Jake Paul has exposed MMA, for what it really is, it's just like WWE always has been… Fake! All those fake kicks, and all that rolling around on the floor in UFC, (looking for some "arm-bar" or "neck choke"), please! Oh, and make it look good, with some "ground and pound" (that's just a couple of slaps in the face, then the ref jumps in), or we might see them rolling around getting a "triangle", (after a few fake cries and whimpers), they tap out, being submitted, when they'd been told too. LOL.
My gran used to watch that sort of crap in the 80s, down on the pier, LOL. We'd all be off to the footy, she was off to her Saturday dose of Big Daddy vs Giant Haystacks, she loved it, Big Daddy always beating up on, and bullying the fat dribbling Giant Haystacks, LOL.
All these UFC casuals we read here?, all comically thinking and believing they're watching some real fight?... LMAO. Jake Paul, just some kid from CZcams, beating up former UFC champions?, says it all, hahaha.
@@hotstepper887 Yes, Jake Paul masterfully copied "The Battle of the Sexes" format, wherein 29 year old nr1 of the world Billie Jean King, in the prime of her life, beat a 55 year old man.
@@blackduck1336 Hilarious, you keep thinking that.
@@hotstepper887Gullible troll.😂
The guy love his simple life in Siberia, shows respect before and ater the matches to his opponents, recognized his shortcomings in the ground game and went to the powerhouse in that departmen Dagestan to improve and his main fighting style is super attractive. What is there not to like?
That he is a Russian fashist. Or you can say that he is against the Russian genocidal war against Ukraine?
Spot on analysis. He can be the next big star indeed.
❤❤❤❤
He's the type of fighter everyone loves to watch! Exciting style and also a striking sharp shooter with power.
Russians and Russia can go f themselves
He has crazy speed AND power, and also a mixture of leg and hand strikes that is basically unheard of in the UFC. He's very similar to Wonderboy, but with about twice the output, and twice the power. There's nobody in the UFC today that can throw so many close range combination punches the way Kopylov does. The way he sets up his offense, his strikes actually provide defense, which is what makes his style so unusual. TJ Dillashaw in his fights against Barao showed a similar high level of footwork and boxing, but I can't think of anyone who makes it look this good.
true, but i just knew he was going to have problems with ground game, happens every time a guy is too good at striking. they always end up getting taken down and submitted by wrestling/juijitsu skills.
Khamzat v Kopylov 🫣
Not everyone if you remember the country he came from.
This dude fights like we all imagine to fight in a street fight..
Oath my heads like we've seen this before lmao
A talented, gifted, and humble man.
This guy's a monster I'm looking forward to seeing what he can do in his career
He's done a lot already, you're speaking like his career hasn't even started yet.
what a skill set. It seems no one can defend his precise liver shots.
Hes good but there are so many great prospects right now the sport is growing at an exponential pace. From illia topuria, to Khamzat to shavkat....its a great time to be a ufc fan
He's Thirrrrrrty-twooooo, and stillllll not even ranked in the Top 25 of his own division.
He's on the downside of his career--Tooooooo ollllld to make any major waves, now.
He should have shored up his ground game about 10 years sooner than he did.
@@3TNT3 lol clown show troll
he was my favorite underdog, I'm happy seeing him getting the recognition he deserves

His hand speed…
His kick power…
He’s a legend
Wow! What a beast... I haven't seen someone inflict so much body damage as he does in awhile...
Can we appreciate the producer’s analogies and the history for the fight-game.
facts
Cro-Copped!!
Love it!
Yes we do👍
Yes
That's why VoteSport has earned my sub.
Roman is an amazing fighter, I like his style, everyone loves some good stand up.
NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE BEAR.
This is MMA fighting not comedy lol.
I have a feeling that Roman was studying in a medicine college, or anywhere else, anatomy of the human body. Man his body kicks and shots are so precise! I love it! He reminds me of old school boxers who knew that in order to have a clear punch to open head with the guard down, they first got to throw some good 2-3 punches at the body, especially in the liver area. And Roman is doing exactly that! And he hits not only the liver, he finds all weak points at opponents bodies. Hope he will learn fully how to defend against takedowns and this guy will become a threat to the top-5 of his division.
This young man is incredible…Amazing speed and power. Wow.
His kicks are devastating. i have never seen the Phrase "Kicks Like a Mule" been so justified to describe his Kicking prowess, especially the USHORIGIRI kick, for normal human beings it's 100% Fatal.
Ushiro Geri*
@@jimbuckzr well since it's not an English word so it can be spelled differently but hey, we mean the same thing 😎
try not to insert that foreign sounding to make a point. .
What a champion. He knew exactly where every strike was going. He knew when he had won and didn't have to go after them when that final hit landed. It's scary to watch.
It's rare to see such honor for a defeated opponent.
Roman Rocks!
Watching his style and the difference between how he executes combinations instead of just throwing a 1+2 or whatever (he still throws it occasionally) is awesome to watch. I cant think of anyone aside from maybe Justin G who will lead with a feint, high kick and then throw hands with it in the same combination having massive success with it due to nobody being ready for it. Crazy mixups and speed+power 😊 also, his machine gun straight/jab/cross combos while retreating are insanely fast and accurate.
Robert Whittaker?
He has the most vicious technique I've maybe ever seen. It's a little wild, a tad sloppy here and there but has insane speed and power. Very unique.
The last time i've described someone's kicks with a "snap" was bruce lee. Kopylov has speed like no other at middleweight. Sorry izzy :(
he really whips those kicks
Always love to see the fat guy in the comments calling the ufc siberian killer sloppy
Ikr, he's a middleweight 😅 scary skills
dont you mean sorry sean. izzy not the champ anymore remember@@purrformance
love this guys style he hunts for finishes
Chase Hooper's Russian older brother Chad Hooper is an absolute monster, good to see Kopylov got all the best genetics the Askren line had to offer
Tremendous respect between these combatants is impressive.
Fights like a monster, he's fast as hell and has the power and also defense for takedowns. dude's gonna be big, maybe even huge!
I love the use of body shots. So good
My God. He strikes so fast!
Agreed.
That is what I was most impressed about.
And generates so much power in short punches, crazy
High IQ, excellent takedown defense, relentless standup game, and a bottomless gas tank. This kid is exciting!
I look forward to watching this guy work his way up in the UFC. Definitely champion material while on his feet. Unlike other fighters, most of his kicks and punches to the body targets the opponent's liver. His opponents should do the same.
Crazy watching the first few minutes of footage, like the power he generates in those kicks and short punches is surreal
I was so excited about this guy coming into the ufc so glad he didn’t get cut when he lost his first two fights I knew the potential was there and he really dialed it in his last fights in ufc
Amen to that, happy he did, great fighter to see, to watch, and maybe the best ever. A killing machine. Greetings from Holland.
As a lifelong martial artist since 1969, i have to say what an absolute beast this young man is in the ring/cage. I've been following his career since i 1st noticed him yrs back, if he stays healthy......others WILL have a LOT on their plate to handle, this man IS incredible !!
doesn't it look like he practiced JKD?
1969 wasn't that the year of Woodstock where millions of people went to? And Holly shit u have been a Martial artist for 54 years that's longer than I've been alive on this planet..
Did u ever think like during that time to enter or be a contender in the UFC or other fighting competitive organizations?
Wouldn't want to tangle with u in a bar fight to be honest but hey man congrats for that dedication to martial arts with self discipline to stay in it for so long I'm impressed to say the least..
@@jamiecrawford7220 Thank you for the kinds words young man ! Yes, 69 was the yr of Woodstock and i was 4 yrs. old. Started my training in Goju-ryu Karate and was blessed to have had two STELLAR Japanese instructors. As a Buffalo native, i was asked to fight in Ufc event 7 that was held in Buffalo that yr. if my friend wasn't able to fight due to a stomach virus. He fought and won that night (a good card that night). As far as bars go, i was taught young to NEVER enter premises like that as trouble WILL surely find you eventually. Loved your words of "self discipline" for it means everything in the M.A. world !! My favorite attributes that ive learned and love to pass on to others are kindness, respect, dignity, honor, compassion, humility and LOVE (the greatest of ALL things). In my early 20's i fought bare knuckle in 85 to 89 and did exceptionally well (shamed of my decision) by 89 and tapped out (Proudly undefeated). I haven't spoke of these matters in decades now so it's nice to reminisce after all this time as i NEVER speak of these events. While you peaked my interest, i'll mention that ive been in personal protection of dignitaries, actors, politicians ect. Matter of fact, i recently started writing a book of my life for my little daughter who is 2 now (60 with a 2 yr older)....smile. In the book, i will mention the few HILARIOUS times i was the bodyguard for singer Rick James regarding how FUNNY that man was !! Don't plan on having the book published but i'd BET my daughter would when i'm gone. Thank you for reaching out young man ! It was nice to reminisce as life goes by SO fast, i wish the very BEST for you and yours and hope you have a great, safe new yr. young man !
@@thelastgeneration1926 It surely does as that art emphasizes the kicking techniques. Ive been following this young mans carrier for a few yrs now. He's an AWESOME fighter, i'm currently living in the penn state area of Pa. and just ran into Bo Nikals last week, there's a fine young man and another upcoming champion to watch. Best wishes to you and yours and hope you have a great,safe new yr !!
thanks a lot brother I am in NYC happy new year!@@shanghunter7697
Well this video title didn’t age well. Roman just got owned and choked by guy whose nickname is “Fluffy” lol.
Fluffy would fluff your ass up
But yeah that nickname is “questionable“ 😅
Prigrov feints with cro crop kicks... deadly knockouts. Nice!
Crocop would be proud of this kid's work
And the most important part: Ben Askren's hair
..if he somehow contacts me, I'll introduce him to Cro Cop... Mirko is still in top shape, so he can spar with him, and I think it would be a top combination...if he can withstand Mirko's extreme training and pranks and if he is a masochist can call and there is no problem...sweat saves blood...
Those punches are so quick and crisp yet still carry some poop behind them... Scary
Future UFC champion ! He is a straight up monster and now training in Daghistan
That kick to the Brazilian’s head was literally cracking!
Nice to see someone finally drop a good in-depth video on him! Im still shocked that people even hardcore fans dont know anything about him, every fight I've seen involving him he shows a clearly high depth of striking and particularly speed.
He'll be ducked like crazy now.
Yeah I had never heard his name before, and I am shocked seeing this. He's so fast, it's absolutely unreal. I can't think of anyone who punches that fast, with such a high level technique. Wonderboy is the closest thing I can think of, because Wonderboy has such an odd and fast Karate style that is very effective. But Wonderboy doesn't have much power or strength.
What do you consider a hardcore fan lol… he’s a well known unranked fighter
Kopylov v costa would be a good fight
Kopylov possesses one essential thing. The Touch Of Death 👀
....He is the true Liver King :)
Would've love to have seen him move into Muay Thai. So much talent...and raw physical ability.😔
Love that you included his first defeat!!!!! Cant wait to see more of this guy. if he figures out wrestling he will be dangerous
He is like "You hit me once, I knock you out once!"
this guy has a chance to be legendary, i hope him much success.
No, he doesn't
@@jasminavdic5586 lol hater
@jasminavdic5586 do you have an Ukrainian flag hanging from your balcony?

@@eldragon4076 no, I don't. Got a picture of your mom already hanging there
Another great vid! You seem to have a knack for making content from fighters I've never seen before, but won't soon forget in the future. Nice work. Looking forward to seeing more of Roman.
It actually a russian channel, (era mma originally), that got translated for western audience, bc the quality is just too good
No tattoos, no comedy, just discipline. Keep going brother.
The kid is truly impressive, there’s no doubt about it. If you can’t see the brilliance in his talent, maybe this sport isn’t for you.
I dunno man, I can see huge shortcomings, like enormous. Anyone that thinks a one dimensional fighter can succeed in the top echelons of MMA, well, this sport probably isn’t for them.
@@seyerus adesanya is one dimensional, yet look how long he was champ
@@seyerustrie as much as I'm excited for him and he's becoming one of my favorite fighters, I see dangers in front of him, hopefully, we just haven't seen his full potential yet
@@seyerustrue but watch his fights in Russia he has more time on the ground then you would think
Cro Cop was built like a g*damn tank & overall so exciting--but w/ limited gas tank & grappling. This kid seems to have everything. Cro Cop 2.0 Turbo.
Bro fights with the power of a Baki character
What Amazing Talent This Young Fighter Has.
Fantastic striker, those body shots are lethal.
This guy being called a sniper is accurate, liver killer probably fit's to..I actually tried finding his highlight reel yesterday a 3 minute post mostly..
This was actually very good in covering his amateur fights up to the steep learning curve in the UFC...IMAGINE LETTING HIM GO !! ONCE HE ADDED TAKEDOWN DEFENCE HE'S JUST HONE UP IN PERFORMANCE LEVELS IN MY OPINION...THANKS FOR THE UPLOAD PAL..🤜🙏🇮🇪🤝🇮🇪🙏🤛
haven't missed one of his fights since di chirico. he's pretty damn good
This dude us an inspiration. And so humble as well. A real fighter. Mirko would be proud.
Holy crap his kicks are VICIOUS
I must say. Your narration, video cuts, made this video very enjoyable to watch. I loved it. Thank you.
Great showcase of a great fighter! The fight vs Enomoto was a war ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Impressive young warrior! I think we are going to see some spectacular fights from this gladiator.
wow, the punches just...hit different
I see what you did there! 😂
VoteSport is awesome !!!
I don't know who is doing commentary on this clip but needs a huge raise.
The Siberian Express, Great short punches and powerful like his kicks! 👊🏿👏🏿💕
This guy is a badass holy
I can not only hear his kicks n punches i think i can feel them
Inside the Octagon, he is a terrifying beast. His fights are very interesting to watch. Raw, precise, fast... There will be interesting fights in the UFC💪💪💪💪
He’s a very talented fighter. Great instincts and devastating kicks and punches coming from that hand-to-hand combat imo.
He’s got a solid head and torso kick ☠️
.....he moves excellently, dodges, changes angle and guard like a cobra, hits technically perfectly, that's why his K.O. kick is violent and devastating. , he is fast, although he doesn't look like it, and he doesn't spend an iota of energy more than he needs to, a smart fighter...he's not a showman, he doesn't insult his opponents, he's only focused on what he's in the ring for and he looks like a well-bred guy...good luck to him and I wish him all the best and most important thing - to be healthy...
MMA history has shown you can't simply rely on being a striker, nor rely on simply having a good ground game. You have to possess both equally to rise to the top of the game. I hope this young man does well. He looks like an exciting fighter. Time and experience will tell.
he lost his first 2 ufc fights due to the grappling i think. since then hes been on a 4 or 5 fight win streak his his striking
Does anyone notice that this channel refers to Black men as Dutch, Spanish and French?
@@archangel2781Maybe because they were born there?
if you actually have a keen eye he's stuffed every takedown ever since training in dagestan. But it's easy to be armchair experts that have no depth in their analysis
A good enough striker doesnt need a ground game, he can put the opponent down the way a man fights.
Рома настоящий боец, скромный парень из Сибири, патриот своей страны, уважающий своих соперников. Я горжусь своим земляком.
This guy is great. His fighting style and approach is fantastic.
This kid got dynimate in his hands, very powerful, but his kicks are something else
It's a shame that he entred the ufc a bit late tho, but nontheless he has much skills
he started fighting late. he was 25 on his professional debut.that is why
@@radoslawkurczab8265 damn, feels bad for him... it's probably because he is feom Siberia... if he was from a big Russian city or Dagestan, he would probably started several years earlier, so much experience he would've gained in tgose years that would speed up his career and insane talent
I'll whoop him and Paddy the Baddy, throw in Suga Sean Flamer and call it a troika
I’m a new fan , this is the only type of fighter there should be!!!
his strikes are so effing accurate. And fast AF
Great content, really well done. This dude is a monster! Can´t wait to see what´s next for him in the UFC.
Met the 🇺🇸 steal tonight! 💪
russian meets mexican*
Keep the videos coming.
Very exciting fighter to watch. As his grappling gets better and better , he will be unstoppable. His striking is the best I have seen in a long time . Amazing fighter.
He's just so humble. That makes him a special fighter.
3:00 😂😂
Allowing the Brazilian to end the Round with a Vicious Spinning Attack.
WTH man 😂😂😅
was that sarcastic?
@Randyfisher obviously it was, that kick was far from vicious, if it was anything, it was lethargic.
The reaction of commentators to that kick also is there for comic effect.
this kid should do very well . speed , power , accuracy . . . smart enough to recognize and address his weak areas . . . and humble .
and he's very young .
Love watching this guy fight. His limbs are missiles. Hope he keeps climbing up the ranks.
Three strait UFC wins in 2023, touch of death in his striking, 32 years old, time to give him a top 5. He's dangerous to anyone up there. This docu is well done!.
Bro this guy vs Sarah bullet is gonna be insane if it ever goes down.
you are 100% right bro
good vid my friend. Roman seems to be a humble guy and his style is fun to watch. Hope to see him fighting again soon
I appreciate fighters that are humble and respectful, Roman is very honorable and respectful.
Бог благословио Русију. Браћо, нек Бог буде са нама.

4:04 that bow of respect. This man is humble, he will be a world champion one day
No nonsense attacking and highly entertaining. More of Roman!
I love these videos. thank you.
I seen "next big thing in UFC" and was hoping it was about me? My 0-0 record is legit!!
@sycamore5493 ...fair enough 👍

Very talented fighter, a gentleman, too. After watching this video, I became a fan, I will be following his career.
watched this guy since his debut & I’ve been saying he’s gonna be a star in the future, he’s extremely talented & underrated
Better and better then becomes badder than ever..
Well put- together video! Super informative, exciting, and organized
great video and compentary. want to see more of roman! 👏
Great fight compilation. He's 12-2 and 4 of those wins are against people who were essentially sparring partners. So he's 8-2 with not much of a ground game. I wish him the best.
He never fought with 'sparring partners'. It's like saying that a fight between Americans is 'essentially a sparring'.
And....?????????????
@@CB33-47 ??? What did you mean? When I disrespected Roman? I was questioning @stephenjones6030 about his commentary...... Roman is a Great Fighter!
I wonder how did Roman "discover" hand-to-hand combat.
The same way any kid discovers it, getting slapped in the face.
One of my favorite fighters. Brutal!
God, I love this sport! Amazing video!
I thought this guy was going to be a beast when the video first began. But his 2 losses in a row in the UFC showed all you need is a ground game to put him away. Hope he can make the adjustments because against great opponents, they will take advantage of that weakness
🤣🤣🤣 lol another couch xpert xpertise
A commenter that has never looked up leg shoot knockout compilations before. Nothing wrong with throwing your whole body weight forward for a single/double leg take down on a guy that barely needs to load his shots to knock you out XD
