Analysis: Ruslan Magomedov came into the UFC with a ton of hype but I’m not all that impressed. Magomedov isn’t a finisher & likes to outlast his opponents but that strategy will only hold up against so many in the heavyweight division. Copeland is definitely stocky & doesn’t look like much but he is surprising quick, athletic, & powerful. Copeland probably needs the early finish to win the fight & I see him getting it rather easily. Magomedov will be surprised by the speed & will get caught with a big shot that’ll end the fight in the opening round. If Copeland can’t finish it in the first round then he will have to win that round & do enough damage early in the 2nd to win that round. A decision isn’t out of the question but I believe Copeland makes his UFC debut with a big splash early knockout & cashes as a nice dog.
