Whittaker vs Costa for interim title fight?

[KOPPE]

Paulo Costa’s manager calls for interim title fight against Robert Whittaker

“This fight has been discussed ever since they first announced that Adesanya would fight the 205-pound champion Blachowicz,”

"Dana said he wants this fight, that he would make this fight happen, and Whittaker said he would only fight for the belt next. We’re just waiting for Dana White to book this fight.”

“This is the best fight for 185, the No. 1 against the No. 2,” Ismail said. “The winner… Borrachinha will win, and with that win, imagine how many pay-per-views a rematch with Adesanya would do. It’s a business. It’s the best pay-per-view possible because Borrachinha and Adesanya really hate each other, but we can’t leave the division on hold. That’s why we have to make this for the interim belt.

“It’s a win-win for the UFC, and that’s what Dana White wants. He knows that Borrachinha vs. Whittaker will sell well, and he knows how much the title unification bout will sell, too.”

Is this some sort of joke?

 

[SpiderCrawl]

Bobby knuckles gifted another title?

 

[Milenkovic]

lol the same Costa that got the anal probe in his last fight?

 

[Askren’s chin]

Division is in an awkward place where the top 2 contenders appear to be above the rest of the top 10 yet the champ has already finished both of them easily.

 

[dildos]

Whittaker kills costa.

it wouldn’t even be close.

but its personal now, costa is going to clean the streets and rid them of human trash.. or something.
he said so right after getting butt fucked

Btw Costa gets pumped and dumped again vs Izzy. In the words of the bellator beast Cory ‘25/8’ Anderson, “there’s levels”.

 

[JoeRoganPenn]

I would deffo watch!

 

[Herwald]

YES!

Don't care about the interim part, but awesome fight!

I mean why not? Israel is fighting Jan for the LHW belt so let him move to LHW and this be for the interim belt. If Izzy loses than he can go down and fight for the title right away. Dont believe Izzy will lose though.

An interim title where both contenders were easily and brutally finished by the current champion really seems lackluster to me.

[Masturbin]

Whittaker won his last fight,costa lost his last fight thus Whittaker destroys costa

 

[TJH Exitium]

Can we just have them fight and leave the 'interim' silliness out of the equation?

Seriously. I'm so sick of interim titles.
