IRVINE, Calif. – Anthony Hernandez won’t change his approach for Roman Kopylov.
Hernandez (11-2 MMA, 5-2 UFC) went from being scheduled against Combat Sambo champion Ikram Aliskerov to now facing knockout artist Kopylov (12-2 MMA, 4-2 UFC) in Saturday’s UFC 298 (pay-per-view, ESPN, ESPN+) main card opener at Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif.
Hernandez thinks Aliskerov is the more well rounded fighter, but the submission specialist’s game plan remains the same.
