“Alright guys, story time. We’re going to do an update on ‘evil Chase Hooper’,” Curtis begins the video off.
Curtis (31-11) accused his opponent at UFC Vegas 101, Roman Kopylov, of sending spies into his camp simply final week.
“Couple weeks ago, 2 Russians show up looking to be part of the team. After 2 weeks they vanish soon as Kopylov comes into town and are now training together. Scumbag move, Kopylov,” Curtis wrote on his Instagram story.
It seems it was nothing greater than a collection of coincidences turning this into one hilarious state of affairs.
“I’m very rarely ever wrong, but when I am wrong on those rare occasions, I will admit to being wrong. I always say, you know, like f*ck coincidences, are not real. It turns out they are. Through like three different, kind of interconnected coincidences going off at the same time, it turns out evil Chase Hooper Kopylov isn’t actually evil Russian with spies,” he stated.
UFC mild heavyweight Johnny Walker is on the town coaching at Xtreme Couture preparing for UFC 311. His opponent that night time shall be Bogdan Guskov who has educated with the staff at Xtreme Couture earlier than.
Teammates preventing one another often means certainly one of them will transfer to a different health club close by to coach. Guskov went off to Syndicate MMA.
“His (Guskov’s) corners are the Russians that were at the gym. So they’re at Xtreme and then he got into town, which I knew he was I saw him in town, roughly like around the time that Kopylov did,” he continued.
“Apparently those are the two Russians that vanished, but they vanished because he’s (Guskov) is back in town. So that was unrelated to the Kopylov thing.”
On prime of that Guskov’s staff ended up on the UFC PI, the place Kopylov is coaching, and that added to the thought that they have been spies.
“I talked to Kopylov earlier today. We actually got all of us in the same room together at the same time. So we kind of figured it out, what happened,” Curtis stated.
Kopylov had been seeing followers going after him for the alleged spies and was confused.
“He’s like ‘everybody thinks I’m the bad guy’. I’m like f*ck my bad Roman. That was on me. I will admit guys I was wrong. So like let’s not hate giant Chase Hooper,” he stated.
“My bad guys. My bad.”
Chris Curtis takes on Roman Kopylov at UFC Vegas 101 on Jan 11 on the UFC APEX.
