This is the UFC 332 live blog for Ateba Gautier vs. Roman Kopylov, the main card middleweight bout Saturday at Delta Center in Salt Lake City.
Gautier (11-1) is one of the brightest prospects at 185 pounds. The 24-year-old Cameroonian has developed a fearsome reputation for his knockout power, with four of his five UFC wins coming by way of KO/TKO. He is currently on a 10-fight win streak. After going to a decision against Andrey Pulyaev, Gautier got back to his finishing ways with a second-round
knockout of Ozzy Diaz.
The more experienced Kopylov (15-5) has flirted with a top 15 ranking in the past, but is yet to string together the kind of run that would make him a true contender. He holds notable wins over Chris Curtis, Cesar Almeida, and Punahele Soriano, and is 7-5 in his UFC career thus far.
