Roman Kopylov extended his consecutive UFC knockout streak to four on Saturday when he brutalized Josh Fremd at Noche UFC.
Kopylov (12-2 MMA, 4-2 UFC) continued to show striking excellence inside the octagon in the middleweight bout at T-Mobile Arena, battering and bloodying the face of Fremd (11-5 MMA, 2-3 UFC) before closing the show with a nasty body shot at the 4:44 mark of Round 2.
The Russian now has the second-longest active streak of consecutive knockouts under the UFC banner, trailing only heavyweight contender Sergei Pavlovich.

After an 0-2 start with the promotion, Kopylov credited his success to a change in gym and coaching staff.
“The fight went exactly how we expected,” Kopylov said in his post-fight interview with Daniel Cormier. “This is what we wanted. This is what we practiced. My coach said, ‘You have to finish him in the second round.’ That’s what I did.”
