True, but if you watched embedded or followed his training regime leading up to the Whittaker fight, he was definitely trying to emphasize his kicking game and go for a head kick KO.
It was one of those fights where both Whitaker and Costa's stock went up. Those kicks from Costa looked great and amazing heart from Whitaker to shake off r1 and come back strong in r2 and r3.
I genuinely don't care about him being in the title conversation. I just like to see him more active and have crazy exciting matchups. Him vs Usman or him vs Jared would be great to watch. If he gets the title fight somehow, that is a bonus.
I have had the pleasure of watching Paulo fight Romero and Whittaker in the Honda Center!🔥 Paulo always brings it in the Octogon👊 Nothing but respect🤙🙏
He's got some momentum behind him now after a good performance despite the loss so he must keep active now and be back at UFC 301 he can't go back to fighting once a year
Thank you Costa for such exciting fights. You have only been facing top dogs and you bring it every time. You are definitely going to be in the Hall Of Fame!
@@shafqatishan437 He is a professional fighter who chose to go to a title fight drunk, and potentially cost him millions of dollars and other accolades. What does that tell you about the man?
This kid always giving us exciting fights and fireworks. The Van Damme kicks were poetry. Still weird that Usman isn't fighting at UFC 300 or the Strickland rematch, not as of now anyway.
this fight with rob reminded me of the Vettori fight, Paulo landed the better strikes and landed a lot but the judges see the "significant strikes" as anything that rob or Marvin landed lol I dont get it
He was trying to say he wants to throw sneaky kicks or kicks with no telegraph. Hidden. He feels he hasnt shown his true greatness in the cage yet maybe hes holding back and working on understanding why and it wont be hard to figure out and fix.
Also a loss to Rob doesn’t hurt his stalk that bad because rob was comming off a loss to the Current champ and Rob is way at the top of the division so he’s still top 10
Am I delusional ? Didnt Costa back out of the Chimaev fight ? How is he ducking Costa lol. 2nd he critiqued Chimaev for fighting a welterweight in Usman. Now he’s calling him out lol
Costa showed great improvement in his skill set. Excited to see him next time, hopefully against Khamzat or much better against Sean "Baboon" Strickland.
Costa looked really good, I honestly expected Whittaker to beat him up worse, he did a fair amount of damage on Whittaker. That being said, no excuses.
Costa would actually be a smaller light heavy weight. He looked much slimmer in his fight with Rob. Imagine him standing next to Johnny Walker or Anthony Smith. He is definitely smaller than those guys. He is in like a half way point between 185 and 205. 185 is little light for him but 205 is way too big for him. He also probably likes the size advantage in his fights.
He proved he is still a top 5 fighter even though he lost. Rob is a definitely right behind Duplessis and Adesanya and Costa nearly finished him. Rob legit was saved by the bell.
How did they not manage to understand anything he was saying @ 7:54 they must not understand fighting, he’s saying he is learning to throw kicks that people can’t see coming so they catch them slipping, same as the one rob he caught rob with. A little bit of talking along with him would’ve helped rather than leaving them on an island
Costa always looks like he hurts everyone w his power. Never forget the Johnny Hendricks fight I was like oh shit JH looks like he is taking a beating from a bully. I was definitely disappointed w the Issy fight. All that talk and he had nothing for Issy.
What's happened to the sport? There's 15 active & ranked MW then some, yet he calls out an old & post prime WW whose future & direction in the sport is uncertain. Dissapointing.
The segue into the ads makes me groan every time. I can't listen to these interviews without thinking that any sentence after the first 10 minutes might lead to an ad read. Just say "a message from our sponsor"
He could have won that fight if he had little bit of fight IQ. His kicks to the head were so good, if he had mixed thoses with liver kicks he may have won. Asking Rob to stay in the middle and trade punches was a desperate move. Shows he has nothing to beat Rob.
I am on a campaign for these 2 dudes not to fight. They both are interesting and need to fight some other two people. That may not make sense.... but I'm telling you... it'd be more interesting to see Usman and Costa fight "no-names" on the same card than fight each other.
Costa has the skills, it just feels like he doesn't have the fight IQ to use his skills. He should have smoked Whittaker honestly. Whittaker has spent the years since the Adesanya fight to try to increase his intelligence in fighting. Ironically Strickland, who people think is an idiot, has pretty high fight IQ not because he sets things up, but from the way he trains. He TRAINS in a way that forces him to have high adaptibility and to have a relaxed but constant defense. Whereas Adesanyas style is very "active", it requires him to be focused for every minute because it is ALL about set ups. Costa has both size, power, technique etc. But his style of mindset and gameplans are just not good. There's no real set ups. He's just fighting at his pace, seemingly without a plan, and just testing random openings. Kind of just trying to find the timing to land a technique but that's it. He has a very superficial use of his skills unfortunately. Adding techniques is not the same as knowing how to create the openings for them and how to break down the opponents game. Jones for instance is the opposite, he has ok technique, but his fight IQ is ALL about seeing openings and vulnerabilities. While someone like Adesanya is too stuck in his "style", he is ONLY looking for the openings that his techniques can set up. But he doesn't look for ALL openings! Because he doesn't ADAPT and create new techniques or is able to target NEW vulnerabilities really.
The biggest hole in Costa's game is that there's no takedown threat. He is an elite level grappler with black belt BJJ but he NEVER shoots. So strikers can relax completely.
Calling out a welterweight. Why not back to Khamzat? He already signed a contract to fight him, ufc should book that. Pretty sure Costa doesnt want to fight him in Abu Dhabi. Khamzat cant fight in alot of countries. Mr. I kill everyone i fight everybody fighting once a year isn't a good look. Tough to back him as a world champ if he cant fight in the U.S
Because Khamzat doesn't want it. It took nearly a year to convince him to sign it the first time around. That's why they booked Rob vs Costa. Because Khamzat refused it

27:04 How he matches up against Usman
Costa and Rob definitely gave us fight of the night, amazing performance from both 👍
how did they not get it dafuqqq
@@boblob3509 because WMMA
people act like the kicks came out of nowhere
Costa always had really good kicks
His kick looks so fast 👌
People should look at his vettori fight he also hit him with a headkick and beautiful body kicks
True, but if you watched embedded or followed his training regime leading up to the Whittaker fight, he was definitely trying to emphasize his kicking game and go for a head kick KO.
I am the biggest Bobby Knuckles fan but Paulo is so much fun to watch, I wish both of them stay healthy and fight more often, absolute beasts.
Paulo is one of these guys where if he gets just 1 win, he is instantly in title talk considerations.
It was one of those fights where both Whitaker and Costa's stock went up. Those kicks from Costa looked great and amazing heart from Whitaker to shake off r1 and come back strong in r2 and r3.
No. If he beat rob yeah but he needs 2
That’s middleweight for you..
I mean it’s true he got to fight rob after barley beating retired rockhold
I genuinely don't care about him being in the title conversation. I just like to see him more active and have crazy exciting matchups. Him vs Usman or him vs Jared would be great to watch. If he gets the title fight somehow, that is a bonus.
Funnily enough Costa looked as good as he ever has even though he lost.
That jab was lighting fast
He just needed some more volume and I think he would have won the fight
Good to see Borrachinha on the channel! Superb fighter, always great to watch compete! 🤘🤘
Paulo's english has improved so much.
I have had the pleasure of watching Paulo fight Romero and Whittaker in the Honda Center!🔥 Paulo always brings it in the Octogon👊 Nothing but respect🤙🙏
Secret Juice 😁... Let's goooooo, Submission Radio on point and keep setting the MMA standards high... 👊💯
BLF! Great fight against Whittaker, Paulo has never had a boring fight
Costa has never been in a boring fight. He's a savage. If only he was more active...
He's got some momentum behind him now after a good performance despite the loss so he must keep active now and be back at UFC 301 he can't go back to fighting once a year
Yes! He needs to be on 301 🇧🇷
7:48 Costa was trying to say the word ‘Sneaky’ and you guys couldn’t catch onto that
I thought I was the only one that found that weird lol
That was painfull
Such a friendly BEAST
strong and jacket
Paulo talking about feeling like a weight bully and then right after says Kamaru next makes sense
Kamaru the weight bully 💪😤 usman
The biggest WW ever 😂😂
He looks bigger than gourmet chechen
@@KhadijetouTijani not if you look at their fight,
Usman is a massive welterweight but gourmet chen chen was bigger
@@Temerio
Nah khamzat is taller but usman is massive 👌
Paulo Costa V Kamaru Usman. Sounds like chemical warfare.
Thank you Costa for such exciting fights. You have only been facing top dogs and you bring it every time. You are definitely going to be in the Hall Of Fame!
Love this guy. Real warrior
I didn't know Paulo.Costa is that good wow Man😶🌫️🔥
I think Paulo and Izzy should run it back… Neither deserving of title fight but would sell a good fight.
It’s ok to have feelings. Paulo got dominated and violated, he himself doesn’t want to run it back otherwise he would have called Izzy.
@@bjojosimpson Paulo was drunk tho
@@shafqatishan437 He is a professional fighter who chose to go to a title fight drunk, and potentially cost him millions of dollars and other accolades.
What does that tell you about the man?
One of my favorite fighters always brings it
This kid always giving us exciting fights and fireworks. The Van Damme kicks were poetry. Still weird that Usman isn't fighting at UFC 300 or the Strickland rematch, not as of now anyway.
Van Damme 💯
he 34 yo wtf u mean kid
Hes probably observing ramadan like all the other muslim fighters
that entrance music was a great choice
f
Can’t wait to see paulos next fight in 3 years 🙏
I dont wanna see Usman get slept by Costa, I wanna see Costa fight Khamzat
Paulo Costa vs Kamzhat would be awesome fight too
0:18 Why does it sound like you're saying "Paulo A-Costa"? Lol
this fight with rob reminded me of the Vettori fight, Paulo landed the better strikes and landed a lot but the judges see the "significant strikes" as anything that rob or Marvin landed lol I dont get it
The people pay pay per view, the people pay to see this
Can't wait fo your next fight
I was literally thinking him vs Costa would be great
I really like Paulo. He fights hard. He’s always in shape. Goes to war. Love see him fight Brendan allen
This guy has definitely gotten faster after seeing him fight Whitaker and not just get smashed like so many shows he is definitely a top 5 at least
Good fighter good guy
He was trying to say he wants to throw sneaky kicks or kicks with no telegraph. Hidden. He feels he hasnt shown his true greatness in the cage yet maybe hes holding back and working on understanding why and it wont be hard to figure out and fix.
I'd like to see Paulo at Light Heavy against Khalil Rountree
That would be a cracker fire fight man
He has always been solid up us Aussies
The word Paulo was looking for was unpredictable
i thought 'question mark kick'
Also a loss to Rob doesn’t hurt his stalk that bad because rob was comming off a loss to the Current champ and Rob is way at the top of the division so he’s still top 10
Imagine the guy walking out to Clubbed To Death and then finishing the fight with a spinning heel kick, would've been amazing 👏🏽
hope costa get a few wins in the future.
What he landed was a Spinning Crescent Kick🥋 Breakdown coming soon‼️ @NwadeiMMA.
Sweep the leg costa .. sweep the leg!!!!
paulo threw the same wheel kick against Marvin Vettori and Luke Rockhold, its not some new thing he's added to his toolbox
Am I delusional ? Didnt Costa back out of the Chimaev fight ? How is he ducking Costa lol. 2nd he critiqued Chimaev for fighting a welterweight in Usman. Now he’s calling him out lol
7:28 He's saying "sneaky kick" that people don't see
He said sneaky kick guys
Paulo with the Jeremy Stephen’s mustage
Costa showed great improvement in his skill set. Excited to see him next time, hopefully against Khamzat or much better against Sean "Baboon" Strickland.
Costa looked really good, I honestly expected Whittaker to beat him up worse, he did a fair amount of damage on Whittaker. That being said, no excuses.
Usman vs Costa for the most strong and jacket belt, these dudes are blowing up the lab
he wants the oldest unranked fighters in the division.
Costa would actually be a smaller light heavy weight. He looked much slimmer in his fight with Rob. Imagine him standing next to Johnny Walker or Anthony Smith. He is definitely smaller than those guys. He is in like a half way point between 185 and 205. 185 is little light for him but 205 is way too big for him. He also probably likes the size advantage in his fights.
He proved he is still a top 5 fighter even though he lost. Rob is a definitely right behind Duplessis and Adesanya and Costa nearly finished him. Rob legit was saved by the bell.
He needs to stay active. He should fight Imavov or Usman next.
How did they not manage to understand anything he was saying @ 7:54 they must not understand fighting, he’s saying he is learning to throw kicks that people can’t see coming so they catch them slipping, same as the one rob he caught rob with. A little bit of talking along with him would’ve helped rather than leaving them on an island
He was looking for the word “sneaky”. Paulo is a very intelligent man. He’s learned English very quickly.
I like the mustache Mr Borrachina
Costa always looks like he hurts everyone w his power. Never forget the Johnny Hendricks fight I was like oh shit JH looks like he is taking a beating from a bully. I was definitely disappointed w the Issy fight. All that talk and he had nothing for Issy.
Howdie boys
Costas camera is dizzying
I ran out of secret juice last night paulo can I buy some more from you please?
Usman def has some good potential at middleweight compared to weatherweight
Paulo is in a good mental place, glad Rob won, but Paulo showed up. Him against khamzat or Strickland.
What's happened to the sport? There's 15 active & ranked MW then some, yet he calls out an old & post prime WW whose future & direction in the sport is uncertain. Dissapointing.
' SNEAKY ' Kick !!!!!!
COSTA AND HENRY BOTH LOST 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
If Costa vs Whittaker ended up a draw I don’t think anyone could’ve argued!
The Matrix soundtrack is lit! 🔥
Costas always had kicks
Looking forward to Ricky Martin's next fight in 16 months. Let's fckn go!!!
Why has Costa vs Cannonier never happened :(
his brazilian sounds like an alien language
His nationality sounds like an alien language???
costa stays talking smack and stays losing lol
30-27 rob was gross lol in my opinion Paulo won 29-28
I think the words Paulo was reaching for were question mark kick?
Sneaky !!!
Imagine if he took it to 100 percent effort I think we have only seen this dude at 60 percent!
Commented before watching video lol
No way they feed Usman to Paulo.
Usman can retire after that 😢
Buddy needs to move up a weight class. He cuts too much. He can’t say he wants to bring his training shape into a fight when he’s cutting 40lbs
Fight southpaw against Whittaker for a free. How could you and Vettori not know? Dricus knew.
The segue into the ads makes me groan every time. I can't listen to these interviews without thinking that any sentence after the first 10 minutes might lead to an ad read. Just say "a message from our sponsor"

Denis looking healthy after being drunk af like Jim Leahy a few weeks back. xD
"So what do you think of Dricus?"
Costa: Literally who?
hahaha. Laughing my ass off man.
Sneaky kick is what he said
pretty wild how good his english has gotten over the years
If he moved up, he would be a smaller lh giving up size and reach to most of the top contenders
That's the case with 99 % of the fighters. What's your point?
paulo won the rob fight. he can still win the title
I think he would have won if he had not reduced output in round 2
Calling out a welterweight. Why not back to Khamzat? He already signed a contract to fight him, ufc should book that. Pretty sure Costa doesnt want to fight him in Abu Dhabi.

Because Khamzat doesn't want it. It took nearly a year to convince him to sign it the first time around.
That's why they booked Rob vs Costa. Because Khamzat refused it
he looked good imo - a lot less dynamic than whitaker, but still a performance he can be proud of
Weight bully Costa.
Atleast he made weight for this one😂
So is Khamzat, so is Khabib, so is Islam
Dude just want to fight smaller guys
Why would kamru fight a guy that can’t make weight.
He fought Khamzat
🤔 he didn't have a problem fighting Khamzat
Yea at Khamzats natural weight class. @@jayn6943
