http://www.mmajunkie.com/news/2012/...ive-straight-wouldnt-have-him-ready-for-title Pretty honest interview
I look forward to him fighting constantly (no pun intended). This boosts his character imo so now I'm definitely more of a fan.
Yeah, the countdown made me a bigger fan. I like how he said "I wasn't good enough for the TUF show" instead of the typical "I was sick, cracked skull, torn knee, broken arm".
Soft spoken. Pete Spratt was also offered a fight against Matt Hughes back in the day, but declined because he didn't feel he was ready for it. It takes a genuinely humble person to do that.
The most improved fighter I can remember in a while too. He's a completely different fighter than he was back then... pretty crazy. Saw him fight twice already live and I've been a fan since.
The guy is winning me over, however, Boetsch fan first. So after this fight I can root for him, haha.
Costas is a stand-up dude....humble & honest....especially to himself, which is a problem many athletes struggle with....ego.
