Paulo Costa out for 8 months, Adesanya to fight someone else

[doughy rig]

As said by Dana White in his interview with The Schmo.

Paulo Costa has surgery on bicep, 8 months out. Working on different fight for Israel.

Tremendously disappointing, first thoughts to title challengers would be Cannonier, Yoel cannot after losing last fight.

Edit: Perhaps the surgery was done quite a while a go and Costa will be back much sooner than 8 months, but it seems the next title challenger won’t be him.

Timestamped.

CANNONIER!!!

Izzy already ducking the Natty GOAT

 

[Touch of Death]

That was my most awaited fight in 2020, even more than Tony vs Khabib and Conor vs Allegations.

 

[Ying Li]

Natty GOAT wants to develop a few more techniques so Izzys team can't study tape of new stuff.

Smart!

Fuck, bicep tears are nasty. I've had a few guys I lift with tear theirs and they say it's never the same after. Was natty goat powerlifting or something?

He already had that surgery in september: https://forums.sherdog.com/threads/...takes-shots-at-romero-he-wasnt-clean.4009507/.

Are you sure you watched a current interview or missunderstood?

Unless he needs to have the same surgery again.... which i find hard to believe

He literally just posted a video hitting pads a couple hours ago

 

[Fesaine]

Romero is on 2 fight losing streak
Whittaker just got destroyed by izzy

Cannonier is the only logical choice.

that's a long time to be out for irritable bowel syndrome

Paulo is such a wannabe tough guy, he’d get wrecked by Adesanya and the only way odds are close is for dumb people to bet on him.

 

[Bucky O'Hare]

I wouldn't be surprised if we end up getting the Whittaker rematch lol

Phew. That's a relief.

How is he a wanna be? He survived Romero and can take a hit well.

Whitaker needs 2 easy wins

 

[TheWobbler]

If till beats kelvin in spectacular fashion they might rush him to a title shot again. Hope its yoel though

Interesting, but look at the video now In my OP.
Definitely a current video as of UFC244 fight week.

Maybe he injured the other bicep? He would want to let the UFC know if he's fine cause they seem to be going elsewhere.

 

[Sarge3000]

For fuck's sake.

 

[Bucky O'Hare]

Whitaker needs 2 easy wins

Stipe needed 2 easy wins before the DC rematch too

 

[doughy rig]

Phew. That's a relief.

Don't believe that's the case unfortunately, incredibly frustrating.

adesanya would ve KO this dude anyway ... romero vs adesanya 5 rounds sounds great ! most of fans think romero is on a 2 fights winning streak anyway ...
