Israel Adesanya Wants Uriah Hall vs. Paulo Costa Winner Next

[NandoMoura]

Israel Adesanya has never been one to focus on the small picture.

Even though the UFC announced Adesanya would face Brad Tavares as the headliner of the Ultimate Fighter 27 Finale, the New Zealand kickboxing wizard is already looking to what lies beyond the UFC’s No. 10-ranked middleweight.

“I’m looking at everyone in that division,” Adesanya said. “I already know who I want next. I wanna fight the winner of Uriah Hall and the Brazilian kid [Paulo Costa].”

Can respect him calling out the guy most don't want to fight. Costa is going to hurt Hall.

 

[Ares Black]

He should worry about his next fight.

 

[Sapp]

Looking past Tavares would be a serious mistake.

 

[Treeloy]

Id rather build them up seperately but you have to respect that

 

[Fstepp]

Hope Costa hurts Hall AND Adesanya!

Hope Costa hurts everyone!

WAR BORRACHINA!

Slow your roll playa.

You talking about a next fight when you arent even done with the current one you have booked.

Based on his last performance, I'd be very surprised if he beat a tough vet like Tavares this early in his development.

 

[Workaholic]

I really wouldn't look past Tavares if I was him

The dude is a grinder and Izzy hasn't looked great in that department

 

[Cowboy Cerroliveira]

Slow your roll playa.

You talking about a next fight when you arent even done with the current one you have booked.

<{cruzshake}>

And of all people it's Tavares he's looking past.

 

[VitorBelfoTRT]

Costa gonna derail the hype train.

Exactly brother.

Tavares is no joke and will probably crush Israel.

 

[FreddieRoachsVoice]

It doesn't feel like it but Tavares is 12-4 in the UFC... this has all of the makings of a Darren Elkins style "upset"

I wondering what Hall ever did to Dana. He's essentially being sent to his execution.

 

[Joseph_McBride]

Probably shouldnt be looking ahead but I agree with him if he wins.

Israel vs Costa would be highly anticipated

Hall doesn't like a pressure fighter. Or hard hitters. He's getting both in 1, can hope for another Moosesaucy type upset. I like both so really doesn't matter who wins, fun to watch.

[KingBeef]

Getting cocky already, are we?

Adesanya going to lose to Tavares so it won't matter
