Punahele Soriano vs. Roman Kopylov Prediction, Pick, Odds: Can Soriano Dominate at UFC Fight Night?
Alas, we as a society finally get back into the thick of things with a bombastic return to the UFC. Initially saddled with Kelvin Gastelum as the main event to break off festivities but unfortunately due to hard sparring and general irresponsibility have led to the marque middleweight contest was scrapped. The fighter is instead replaced by a light heavyweight affair headlined by no other than Mr. Worldwide, Sean Strickland.
Jokes and run-on sentences aside, this is arguably a better matchup than the previous, given Kelvin's history of pulling out and Sean's penchant for never being in a dull fight. Let's break down my prediction and pick for Soriano vs Kopylov.

Punahele Soriano vs Roman Kopylov Prediction
While the middleweight division is on full display for our featured attraction of the night, the clash between Punahele Soriano and Roman Kopylov is a 185-pound affair that is decisively going under the radar. The fact of the matter is while this bout will be bombastic and visceral in its combative nature, the low profile of both participants has led to a severe lack of hype for this crackerjack of a firefight.
Kopylov is a second-rate Russian kickboxer trying to maintain some semblance of a career by transitioning over to the world of MMA, where the money is very much more lucrative and prevalent at the highest level. While Koplov has flashy striking, the subsequent holes in his takedown defense as well as in his gas tank will surely lead to his demise against the former Division 3 wrestling prodigy in Soriano. Give me the hard-hitting Hawaiian to put away Roman Kopylov, scoring takedowns at will en route to a late second-round finish after an all-around exhaustive pace.
