Paulo Costa would fight Israel Adesanya "if the people want this fight, let’s make this fight"

[LittleSmokey]

Book it. Let Costa eat another soul before murking Weidman.

 

[ANIM4L]

God, I want to see Costa erase Adesanya so bad. Strike while the iron is hot UFC.

Walking steroid vs incoherent social media attention seeker....

Who to root against?

Proof or shut your cunt mouth.

Omg. Paulo no. These guys need to be developed apart from each other. Both guys have star power in their region and company wide. Have them fight later. Once they've both had a shot at the title. Have Paulo fight Weidman, and Isreal could get someone like Jacare or Brunson.

As of now I think that's an easy KO for Isreal. Adesanya is a legit kickboxer with high fight IQ in both sports. Paulo is a strong middle weight, who is one of the few fighters that puts in persistent body work. Paulo is not a great striker though, he's been matched up against punching bags.
Uriah "No Fundamentals" Hall was putting a jab in his face all night, and Paulo's only answer was to try to bulldoze through it. Isreal lights him up.

I understand this thought process, but God do I hate when it gets in the way of making good fights.

Me. To imo it just works in this case.

Adesanya actually has footwork... I know who I would take

Those natty delts though

 

[chinarice]

Israel would knock 5% of the steroids out of Costa's body en route to a TKO victory.

 

[Adjutant]

They both will hide from Khabib.....just like Conor has.

Dude, what the fuck is your problem?! Seriously, it’s now officially creepy......stop it

 

[DopeZach]

Would be an epic fight no doubt. I think Israel would take the win but you never know with Costa I suppose though

 

[Adjutant]

What the actual fuck?

Dude is off his rocker. It’s ALL HE EVER TALKS ABOUT. It’s unnerving

 

[Obsidian]

Costa is Eric Silva 2.0.

 

[wrestlefan]

Costa is my favorite natural UFC fighter.

 

[Sean Long]

Dude, what the fuck is your problem?! Seriously, it’s now officially creepy......stop it

Thanks bro....and thanks for believing in Khabib!

 

[AngryPorto]

?

I never said otherwise.

You said:

Costa almost got knocked out by Hall.

I took this as you criticizing Hall's power. Am I wrong?

 

[GrapeJuiceMMA]

Imagine how bad Paulo Costa would shatter Israel’s brittle body?

I’ve been saying this since his debut, but Israel is too fragile and skinny to hang with the top dogs at MW. He is extremely skilled but needs to add more muscle to defend TDs and put more pop on his strikes. Look at the difference between Paulo and Israel’s delts.

Costa has thick almond delts while Israel has shriveled raisin delts. No doubt Paulo walks him down and eats his best shots before brutally KOing Israel against the cage like he did to Hall.

True. Also close range Paulo goes to work!!!!!! Hes a fucking BEAST! Plus he would end up banging Israels crush soon after while Israel is in the hospital fappin to cuckold porn

 

[GrapeJuiceMMA]

I saw Costa is calling him out. Really hope they make that fight and he shuts Israel's mouth.

No he isnt. Hes calling out Weidman

 

[Streeter]

All natty Costa wins easily. Israel has no real power.

 

[Evangelion]

Uh, have you seen Hall? I mean he's a classic case of failure to maximize potential for sure, but his stand-up is on point and he's definitely got power.

Hall has a jab and spinning shit, nothi.g else. If you think his stand up is on the same level as Adesanyas you make Stevie Wonders vision look good.

 

[boingyman]

I rather see both fight a top 7 before fighting each other.

 

[ANIM4L]

No he isnt. Hes calling out Weidman

He is calling out Weidman but he's down to fight Adeysana if they cant get that fight.

“The first time I heard his name was on Friday when he fought,” Costa said. “People asked me about this fight, and I said I don’t know this guy. But if the people want this fight, let’s make this fight.

“But my priority is Chris Weidman. He’s a former champion, he’s very famous in the world, and he’s higher ranked. But I’m a fighter, and the UFC decides. (UFC President) Dana White decides. I’m here to make the biggest and the greatest fights. So if he wants it and everybody wants it, I’ll fight Israel.”
