Roman Kopylov

Roman Kopylov was born in Shchebzavod, a small village in the Kemerovo region of Russia, and began his journey in martial arts at the age of 9. His parents, both former athletes, nurtured his passion for hand-to-hand combat. Gradually, Kopylov started winning trophies at various levels, from city to regional and higher-level competitions starting in 2010. He served in the National Guard of the Siberian District where he continued to compete in martial arts. After graduating from a branch of Kemerovo State University in 2014, he ventured into mixed martial arts.{{Cite web |title=Роман Копылов (Roman Kopylov): биография и лучшие бои средневеса UFC - MMAExpress |url=https://mma.express/fighters/ufc/roman-kopylov |access-date=2023-05-14 |website=mma.express}}

Kopylov is a five-time world champion in hand-to-hand combat sambo, and has also won several European and Russian championships.{{cite web |url=https://thebodylockmma.com/ufc/undefeated-russian-star-roman-kopylov-signs-with-ufc/ |title=Undefeated Russian star Roman Kopylov signs with UFC |last=Fiedel |first=Michael |date=23 February 2019 |website=The Body Lock |access-date=22 January 2023 |archive-date=22 January 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230122192235/https://thebodylockmma.com/ufc/undefeated-russian-star-roman-kopylov-signs-with-ufc/ |url-status=live }} He has earned degrees in economics and physical education from Kemerovo State University and Novokuznetsk Institute.

Roman Kopylov began his MMA career in Ufa in April 2016 at the WCSA tournament. His first fight was against Filipe Aiyugono from Guinea. Despite it being his debut, Roman managed to win by unanimous decision after fighting all the rounds. Later in 2016, Roman fought in the League S-70 ring and knocked out a foreign opponent. He maintained careers in both MMA and RB and demonstrated an unmatched level of skill.

By the end of 2016, Roman fought Islam Gugov in the DIA, before signing a contract with Fight Nights Global. He defeated Artem Shokalo and Jacob Ortiz, then returned to League S-70 for another victory. He then fought for the Fight Nights Middleweight Championship against Abusupyan Alikhanov, who had a streak of 9 victories. Roman increased his pace round by round, and his opponent's corner gave up after the 4th round.

By the end of 2018, Roman won a title fight against the legendary Yasubei Enomoto in a joint tournament between Fight Nights and GTC. Despite Enomoto's impressive track record and experience, Roman's pressure proved too much, and Enomoto lost in the 4th round after a heavy hit to the body.

Following this victory, Roman's manager, Alexander Skaredin, started organizing a fight with Magomed Ismailov, but the plans were postponed indefinitely when Magomed left Fight Nights to join ASA.

Later, Kopylov was offered a contract for 4 fights by UFC matchmakers. He was scheduled to fight Krzysztof Jotko in St. Petersburg on April 20, 2019 at UFC Fight Night 149.{{Cite web |last=Dorff |first=Marcel |date=24 February 2019 |title=FNG Kampioen Roman Kopylov maakt UFC debuut tegen Krzysztof Jotko in St.Petersburg |url=http://mmadna.nl/fng-kampioen-roman-kopylov-maakt-ufc-debuut-tegen-krzysztof-jotko-in-st-petersburg/ |access-date=2023-07-01 |language=nl}} However, Kopylov pulled out of the bout on March 22 citing injury.{{Cite web |author=Marcel Dorff |date=2019-03-22 |title=Roman Kopylov out, Alen Amedovski against Kryzysztof Jotko during UFC St.Petersburg |url=https://mmadna.nl/roman-kopylov-out-alen-amedovski-in-tegen-kryzysztof-jotko-tijdens-ufc-st-petersburg/ |access-date=2019-03-22 |publisher=mmadna.nl |language=nl}}
