5 rounds of Ian running? No thanks.Fights should be 5 rounds for everyone on main card.

especially given how infrequently he's been fighting as of late
looked pretty good for being Costa tbh
he's really deceptive in that he looks like a big blockhead meathead but has very good dexterity and quickness with his kicks
I thought he forgot how to fight like Costa. Trying to be technical and cautious against Whittaker isn't going to work when you aren't a natural counter puncher. Costa at his best throws combos and has non stop pressure. Same way DDP broke him
THISHe has a great liver kick and a great step in left high kick. But the mans arms all all over the place. No one is mentioning it. But his arms are at his waist at all times. He just needs a guard. He doesn't have that elusive style. Can't fight like that when you can't time and dodge those punches. You need a good long guard setup. He just doesn't have that. After every attack his hands are just wherever they are at the moment.
If I was his coach I'd drill the shit out of long guard setups and catching kicks.
still had some cardio issues thats why Rob was able to win because he slowed down enough for Rob to start picking him apart.especially given how infrequently he's been fighting as of late

I mean, he almost knocked him out bruhHe was fairly in shape, but what I saw in that fight is a guy that was losing most of the exchanges, and afraid of engaging, like not thrusting his own chin. Whitaker is not even in his prime, I don't see much future for Costa, unfortunately.
