The UFC’s return to The APEX on January 11 just got a little bigger.

On Tuesday, the promotion announced two fights for the company’s first event of 2025, one of them being a middleweight showdown between Chris ‘Action Man’ Curtis and Roman Kopylov.

Alternating wins and losses in his last five fights, Curtis will look to climb back into the win column after coming up short against Brendan Allen via split decision in April. Before that, Curtis came out on the right side of another split decision against Marc-André Barriault at the beginning of 2024.

Overall, Curtis is 5-3 under the UFC banner with one no contest.

Standing in Curtis’ way of a 32nd career victory will Kopylov — a Russian standout who despite his lackluster 5-3 record, has looked very impressive inside the Octagon over the last couple of years.

Kopylov kickstarted his UFC run with back-to-back losses against Karl Roberson and Albert Duraev before winning five of his last six fights, all but one of them coming by way of knockout.

Overall, Kopylov is 13-3 in his mixed martial arts career and will be looking to make it two in a row after landing a split decision W against César Almeida at UFC 302.

UFC Fighter Chris Curtis Calls Out Red Pill Ideology: “Destroyed an entire generation of boys and young men.”

UFC fighter Chris Curtis has recently made headlines with his strong criticism of the “Red Pill” ideology and its impact on young men. Curtis expressed concern over the movement’s influence, stating that it has destroyed the minds of young men.

Chris Curtis on Red Pill Ideology

‘Action Man’ Chris Curtis emphasizes the importance of supporting women’s rights, which contrasts this with the Red Pill ideology’s often negative stance towards feminism. Curtis is critical of the “just be a man” narrative promoted by figures such as Andrew Tate. He explains that this discourages men from seeking professional help for mental health issues. The US-born athlete brings attention to the alarming rise in male suicide rates, suggesting a connection.

The Red Pill community promotes several core beliefs that the UFC fighter Curtis believes to be harmful. They argue that feminism is harmful to society and men in particular. Red Pill adherents often cite evolutionary theories to justify traditional gender roles. Many in the community believe that men, not women, are the truly oppressed gender in modern society.

Chris Curtis on X has Tweeted:

“Red pills have destroyed an entire generation of boys and young men…”

In the past he has said:

“This is exactly why I hate Andrew Tate, it’s fucking 2023 and men are still afraid to seek professional help for their mental well-being because mfers perpetuate this just be a man narrative. And we wonder why suicide rates in men are skyrocketing.

“Kinda sad all this debate talk has kinda blown a cloud over the well-deserved end of Andrew Tate for dating a 15 year old and the inevitable proof that all the Red pill bros have been worshiping two pedophiles. Way to go, guys.”

Action Man’ Chris Curtis has some impressive wins in the UFC defeating notable fighters such as Rodolfo Vieira, Marc-André Barriault, Phil Hawes, and Joaquin Buckley.

UFC Star Roasts Donald Trump and Elon Musk: Questions Their ‘Masculine’ Image

While many UFC fighters support three-time GOP nominee Donald Trump, one has been outspoken about his disdain for the former POTUS.

Chris Curtis has been fairly hush-hush regarding his political beliefs in recent years. However, all that appears to have changed after his friendship with far-right-leaning UFC star Sean Strickland came to a crashing halt over their differing worldviews.

Since then, ‘The Action Man’ has been more than willing to vent his frustration with the Republican agenda and take a few shots at Trump on social media.

Recently, Curtis shared images from a recent Trump rally that featured one of the convicted felon’s wealthiest supporters, Telsa Motors CEO and the Sultan of SpaceX, Elon Musk.

“All that talk about athletic masculine dudes…” Curtis wrote on X.

UFC Fans snap back at Chris Curtis

While there were plenty of fight fans who appreciated Curtis’ dig at Trump and Musk, one was quick to remind ‘The Action Man’ that a majority of the UFC fanbase is made up of conservatives.

“Such a bad play for you growing your brand. Read the room, man,” one user on X replied. “The whole UFC fanbase is opposite your position. Are you trying to change their minds or are you trying to grow your business? Cuz regardless of how hard you try, only the latter is possible.”

Of course, not everyone in the comments expressed as much couth as the above user.

“I wish I would have laughed more when you were getting all them f*cking no contests and losses,” another added. “Can’t wait till the next time you get knocked the fuck out and I get to watch. You’ll always be a journeyman getting middling pay for your middling personality. I used to be a fan…

Chris Curtis is 3-3 in his last six outings with 1 no-contest. That came against Nassourdine Imavov at UFC 289 due to an accidental clash of heads three minutes into the second round. ‘The Action Man’ is scheduled for a scrap with Roman Kopylov at a Fight Night event on January 11.
