Speaking to MMA Fighting, Paulo Costa assured that, if he’d fought the version of Robert Whittaker and Yoel Romero that fought at UFC 225, he’d have stopped both — before the third round.

 

”I didn’t like the Whittaker and Romero fight,” Costa said. “I thought to myself, if I were in that cage I would have knocked out both of them because they had the opportunity to connect clean strikes in the face and no one went down. If it was me, I would have knocked them out way sooner. It wouldn’t even get to the third round.”

 

Costa, of course, is currently linked to a UFC 230 showdown with Romero, so he’ll soon have the chance to back this comment up.

 

As for Romero’s past trouble with the scale, Costa invites him to miss weight again when they fight. In fact, he hopes he Romero misses his target. If the Cuban does, after all, Costa is likely to receive 20 or 30% of his purse.

 

”The fact that he has trouble make weight cheers me up,” Costa said. “It’s 20 percent more going to my pocket. Everything I want is him to miss weight. Get there heavy and give me my 20 or 30 percent. Thirty is even better. That’s all I want. Yoel Romero, eat a lot and get there heavy, please. I want your 30 percent.”

every single guy who has tried to walk down BK has been broken. Hall, Tavares, Yolo, Brunson, and the cans before them. His footwork and handspeed/agression/power combo will put Costa away.

 

Costa will need to taste defeat to reach his full potential imo. A few years if he doesnt get popped we'll see him actually kill a mofo at LHW but for now he can be a contender. I really wanted to see him KTFO criedcan but Luke is finna send him to Bellator before that can happen

Please m8, take Yoel out of that list.

 

Yoel gave Whittaker a real fight twice and, last time I checked, Rob cant fight because he got broken after fighting beast Yolo.

i was being cheeky adding him there, but Yolo has definitely aged after ten rounds of war with the Reaper

Yeah I think the guy who got dropped 50 times and can't fight for a year is probably walking away a bit worse

he broke his hand and still beat him, after fking his knee and beating him the first time. But yeah he's definitely walking away worse. That's what happens when you stand and bang like a GOAT
