Paulo Costa: UFC's Wasted Potential
Спорт
Paulo Costa rose to the top as an undefeated powerhouse. A wrecking ball of pure destruction. But he would fall short at a pivatol moment. What followed was a downfall for the ages, a social media masterpiece, and a ressurection to match.
This is the story of the Costa we all know and love.
Thanks for joining me on another one my friends,
Love Always,
The Academic.

He was delusional about not taking the blame for missing weight for the Vettori fight. Other than that, this video said he turned into a troll because he stopped taking the sport as seriously when he lost to Izzy. It didn't say he was a troll because of being delusional.

he may have had a downfall on a competitive level, but it seems like Costa's the happiest and content he's ever been now. Running his own gym, being a businessman, training fighters, at peace with himself. Paulo understands and accepts humility in a game where minor setbacks can cost guys their sanity and peace of mind.

The man, the myth the legend, Paulo Costa.
Delusional? If anything Paulo has more fans than ever right now and that’s mostly due to his social media game. He shows up in every fight, (minus adesanya) and is always entertaining and hilarious, with minimal English I might add. If anything it speaks to his star power to see him take huge missteps in the eyes of the fans, yet redeem himself so quickly. I don’t care if Paulo even comes close to a title again, I’m tuning in every time.

The only point I’m making is that the dude has a massive fan base, regardless of any fuckups, lack of activity, or not taking specific matchups.
