Costa keeps changing how he fights; he is unable to find the winning formula.

Lol. That's where you are wrong. Costa does NOT have all the tools, as far as technique goes. Costa will continue to lose against the elite strikers of the division.

This has been evident for quite some time now. Hall exposed him a bit, and Romero even more so. I would have liked to see him matched up against The Joker. That's mord of a winnable fight for his style.

It's winnable for both and would likely be more entertaining.

People think Costa is still mentally affected by the Adesanya's fight but that has nothing to do with it. His defenses and offensive striking skills simply were never high level.

Ya maybe I'm suckered in by his physique and athleticism.

He looks the part and is the part compared to 99% of the world, but isn't the part against the top 1%.

Conatantly hangs with the top guys, doesn't do enough and loses decisions. Too many losses now.

Costa had to move forward and throw combinations, strickland always gets hit with the 3rd punch in a combination
