We absolutely NEED this fight rebooked at all costs. This is the fight to make and we really want Costa back inside the octagon ASAP. After the Vettori loss he really grew on the fans and started taking care of his diet, looks fitter than before. I truly believe that Chimaev won’t be able to take Costa down more than once, and there’s no way this fight will last the distance. All the support to Costa from Russia!

Paulo has been very criticised by the fans and the UFC, especially over the past 2 years. He is extremely underrated in my opinion and I think he would beat both Khamzat and Sean. He’s time will come.

Felt really bad for Costa. He was so motivated for this one, and I believe he was going to win.

I'm guessing the title shot was UFC negotiating with Chimaev, to keep him on the card for Abu Dhabi. Makes more sense now that we know Cannonier was first offered this agreement, he accepted, but then got injured the next day.

"I don't know what he had in mind, but it was not a good idea for him." A masterful understatement.
Costa vs Chimaev will definitely happen if Cost manages to win next two or three fighters, he is only number 6 ranked at the moment.
We for sure need to see the Khamzat v Costa fight especially after seeing Usman take him the distance in a 3 round fight coming in on 10 days, and yes I am sure Usman trains all year around but we are talking about being ready to go for 170 not for 185 Huge difference, and Khamzat has had a half year plus to adjust to that weight class. We all know that Costa cuts crazy weight to get to 185 and is a black belt in BJJ so I don't see Chimaev finishing him in 1-2 rounds without first hurting him on the feet or something. I can definitely see Costa winning a decision or getting a late finish.
The guy is growing on me, I'm actually rooting for him now.
Costa is in fact a lot smarter than you would normally think.. He is speaking facts here. 🤞😒
Im really starting to believe costa all along was never the dik. It was ppl starting him and media painted him a certain way bcuz every time he talks he comes across genuine and funny too. ' i need to discipline this guy ' is hilarious. Hes a walking whoopass!

“I watch YEWWWWW muthaphukka” 😂😂😂 I didn’t use to like him, but now that his English is much-improved, his personality can shine and he’s a funny cat!
Costa is a troll sometimes he melts shi.. I also don't believe that Chimaev will get a chance for the belt.. and if hey then Strickland will be harder than Usman! (yes Usman beat him in 2017) now it's 2023 :) Usman can weigh even 95 kg it will always be a small welterweight, just imagine Usman with Costa, Usman would have no chance! weight categories are no joke at such a level! Chimaev won't get Strickland to the ground :) but you'll see that in the match 👌

It was clear that Chimaev didn’t come out in the 2nd and 3rd with the same aggression but he was still moving with high energy,so wether he broke the hand or not he hurt it enough that it stopped him attacking like the 1st round..a lot of people just ignoring this fact,if he didn’t hurt it I reckon he comes out takes usman down again in the 2nd and finally submits him.

Rebook that fight. Meanwhile, let DDP fight Sean since they are both the closest to being healthy for the next title defense from Sean. Waiting on Khamzat would take even longer if he did break his hand. So by the time his hand heals, Paolo will be ready and healed also from his elbow. 💪
