Yahoo Sports Dana White shares gnarly images of UFC Fight Night 249 winner's cut
Roman Kopylov walked away from UFC Fight Night 249 a winner, but wore the sacrifice it took to become victorious on his face.
As shown by UFC CEO Dana White on a pair of Instagram story posts Saturday, Kopylov (14-3 MMA, 6-3 UFC) suffered a gnarly laceration across his right eyebrow that required at least 10 stitches.
Kopylov defeated Chris Curtis (31-12 MMA, 5-4 UFC) in a middleweight bout on the main card at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. The stoppage was highly debated by Curtis. After he was floored by a Kopylov high kick in the waning seconds of the fight, referee Mark Smith stepped in with only one tick left on the clock.
For Kopylov, a win is a win. That victory was his sixth in his most recent seven outings. Curtis has now lost back-to-back bouts.
