Paulo Costa vs Roman Kopylov - AI generated fight pick

Paulo Costa's experience against elite competition, higher significant strike accuracy (58% vs 51%), and much higher takedown accuracy (75% vs 42%) are key advantages. Both fighters are powerful strikers with high KO rates, but Costa's ability to pressure and overwhelm opponents early (9 first round finishes) and his durability at the top level are proven. Kopylov has shown improved form and excellent takedown defense (87%), but his one recent submission loss to Anthony Hernandez raises questions about his grappling if Costa mixes in wrestling. Historically, fighters with Costa's physicality and aggression have a higher win rate in similar matchups, especially when they can dictate the pace. However, Kopylov's technical boxing and recent knockout wins make him a live underdog, so the confidence is not extremely high.
