I cant believe how beautiful he set that up. 
All first round Roman stood and threw hands I kept thinking he would change up his rhythm but instead he changed up his striking completely and went with a high kick. 
Brilliant decision considering all of the first was largely a boxing match.

We need the UFC to clone Hooper and Kopylov and fuse it into one man with the grappling of the former and the striking of the latter. I guess it would fight at LW?

I'm Laudable. Roman Kopylov overpowered his knife hand block in this one.
I make it look easy... bank on it!
