Adesanya is probably the best striker in UFC and many predicted he will move and counter strike Costa into a win but...
Costa did almost nothing, so, what happened?
My theory is Costa has not the cardio to go full brawler like he does in 3 round fights so he and his team had the plan to fight in a very energy saving state for the first 2 rounds to unleash the full power in the last 3 rounds...
That makes sense but in the first 2 rounds Izzy made enough harm in the legs, body and a cut that make Costa hesitant and worried, he lost confidence and got caught.
Izzy is a fantastic fighter, the best striker in UFC, undisputed champion and the favorite, but I think Costa would have done much more in a 3 round fight (or with an oxygen tube maybe lol)
Or do you really think Izzy is in a whole different level compared to Costa ? Because the common opponents they have and their results are not that different
