Costa being punished by the UFC

[Koro_11]

Murzakanov fight has almost no upside for him, if he manages to win, everyone will just say it was some unranked guy that was never good to begin with, and there is a real good chance he loses.

I like Costa, but fuck. I can’t say I blame them, how many fights has the guy pulled out of.

 

[Thepaintbucket]

He's pretty much done at this point anyway. Both sides are just collecting whatever they can.

 

[Dorkman]

Yeah Costa really has put himself in a spot of not worthy of getting any kind of favorable match making. Its a shame, he has the style and charisma to be bigger than what he is. But he just keeps being his own worst enemy never making it to scheduled fights. So he needs to show he can make it to a fight, and beat a tough guy.

 

[Steve Fox]

Izzy ruined Costa.

 

[Tibbles]

After his war with Yoel I thought he had a real chance to win the belt against Israel. Such a waste of talent.

 

[Tibbles]

Izzy ruined Costa.

Ha. I think I remember reading that he got wasted the night before and drank a whole bottle of wine literally as he was getting into bed. Didn't work out well for him.

 

[Sycho Sid]

If you don't take you career seriously, don't expect to get treated seriously.

Unless you are a big draw. Then go nuts

 

[svmr_db]

Murzakanov is the #6 LHW, there is plenty for Costa to gain. Costa is a popular guy, if he somehow wins he could be one win away from a title shot.

Having said that, yeah Murzakanov probably beats him.

Izzy ruined Costa.

"Ruined" is putting it lightly.

One minute Costa was undefeated and felt like he could bulldoze anyone, the next minute he was TKOd and getting taken from behind like a woman on live TV by a skinny African.

It's a wonder Costa ever fought again after that trauma.

 

[Tito Tapped]

Rankings will never change if the ranked guys only fight other ranked guys.

 

[SamuraiBro]

It’s actually an upgrade. Goes from fighting unranked middleweight to number 6 light heavyweight. A win puts him in the title picture.

 

[Ares Black]

Well it's about fucking time

 

[VinceArch]

How Costa remembers it.

Its funny because you are probably right. One win and Costa could get in a title eliminator but if Murz wins he is still in "Who Da Fook is Dat Guy" territory when it comes to the title picture.

He's ranked, It'll put him right in the mix where he should not be

Am I missing something? Murzakanov is #6 ranked, 16-0 record with over 80% of UFC wins by KO, just sparked Rakic in R1. He will absolutely be the favourite.

Costa has a a ton to gain, this win would put him one away from a title shot.

Yeah I guess he is ranked, I forgot just how shallow 205 is right now. But Rakic is a punching bag not worth mentioning at this point, he hasn’t won a fight in like 5 years.

 

[hbombbisping]

He fell off so hard.

When he was standing toe to toe with Yoel I thought he was gonna wreck shit

Most damage he did after Israel was to his own hairline

 

[Killer Kadoogan]

it was the secret juice

 

[laleggenda27]

TS must be high. Murzakanov is a fast-track for Costa to get highly ranked at LHW. Unfortunately for Costa, he probably loses.
