It just took one TD

Kopy held up well but damn it only took ONE. 

Insane fight by Kopy to fend off those RNCs until the end tho

Kopylov is very good, but Hernandez is the hype killer for the middleweight division.

Wow Kopylov almost nailed it with the body shots. I'm going to stop doubting Fluffy, put him against Curtis in a Fight Night Co-Main or in a PPV Main Card.

I wonder why Fluffy flipped Kopylov off in the middle of rd 2 though, did Kopylov say something to him?
