Roman Kopylov vs Claudio Ribeiro Prediction: It won't be easy

Prediction for the UFC 291 Roman Kopylov vs Claudio Ribeiro match which will take place on July 30th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available. 

Roman Kopylov is a three–time world champion in hand-to-hand combat and a former AMC Fight Nights champion. He made his UFC debut in 2019 after he knocked out Yasubey Enomoto and took the belt in the Kamil Hajiyev league. Roman lost the first two fights in the strongest league (by submission and a controversial judicial decision). After that, he began to surprise, beating Alessio di Chirico and Punahele Soriano.

Claudio Ribeiro is an unremarkable Brazilian fighter with an extraordinary guard. In the UFC, he fought twice (both times in 2023) - lost and won by knockout.

Two fighters will encourage each other to make mistakes, and one will succeed. Each of the fighters needs time to analyze the opponent. They will be attentive, careful and work out the first round without failures in defense.

Roman has already adjusted to the UFC and now believes in himself. He has prepared for the fight in silence; logically, he is the favorite here. There are no questions about his skills, and his ability to fight against Ribeiro is doubtful to be useful.
