Gautier is 11 years younger than Kopylov with a 15-centimeter reach advantage, and our Gautier vs Kopylov match prediction at UFC 332 backs him to win. The Storm stands 193 cm with a 206 cm reach against Kopylov's 183 cm frame. Gautier has won 11 of 12 fights, nine by knockout. Kopylov, at 35, enters off a bloodied win after a rockier stretch.
Gautier, notably, finished each of his first three UFC fights, all by stoppage. Pulyaev finally took him the distance, a 30-27, 29-28, 29-28 decision in January. Gautier answered with a second-round knockout of Diaz in May. The finish came from an overhand right and hammer fists a minute into the round.
Meanwhile, Kopylov lost back-to-back decisions to Paulo Costa and Gregory Rodrigues before his most recent fight. Costa swept every scorecard in July, and Rodrigues followed with the same verdict in November. Kopylov snapped that skid in May, edging Tulio by decision on the same card as Gautier's win. He finished that fight bloodied despite the win.
Neither man has faced the other before, leaving physical tools to decide this. Gautier's size, reach, and youth are real advantages heading into Saturday. Kopylov needed the judges in three of his last four fights, Gautier only once in five. Our pick backs the bigger, younger, fresher finisher to get his hand raised.

Our Ateba Gautier vs Roman Kopylov Prediction
Gautier brings a genuine physical mismatch into this fight, 11 years younger with a 15-centimeter reach advantage over Kopylov. The Storm has finished nine of his 11 wins, including a second-round knockout of Ozzy Diaz in his last outing.
Kopylov, by contrast, needed the judges in three of his last four fights, including losses to Costa and Rodrigues before a decision win over Tulio. Size, youth, and recent form all point the same way heading into Saturday. Hence, our Gautier vs Kopylov match prediction is that Gautier wins.
