- Roman Kopylov has remained active in UFC middleweight contention with notable performances, including a high-kick KO win over Chris Curtis at UFC Fight Night 249 on January 11, 2025, which earned Fight of the Night honors. This victory extended his knockout streak and solidified his position as a dangerous striker in the division.[4]
- In 2025-07 coverage, outlets discussed Kopylov’s status and recent results, including his performances and ongoing role in UFC events around that period. These reports also note his improving knockout power and a run that had him winning multiple fights in a row prior to 2025.[1][2][4]
- There has been mention of a scheduled fight against Paulo Costa that was moved to UFC 318 on July 19, 2025, after an initial booking for UFC 317 in June; the change was described as a postponement rather than cancellation. Costa and Kopylov were positioned as high-profile middleweight matchups around that time.[2][1]
