Media Izzy his done. Costa add nasty kick to his arsenal.

BTW wasn't he practicing kicks in the lead up?

He just doesn't have the skill's (base/fundamentals) to get inside where he'd be a threat.
 
Israel would've hit him twice, move out of the way, and hit him thrice on the way back.
 
He needs footwork and head movement more than anything, Izzy is one of the best counter striker out there if not the best.

His best chance vs Izzy is to pressure him, clinch and work the body
 
He already has a nasty kick. Doesnt matter if he doesnt use it in the fight.

Israel literally caught all of his body kicks during their fight. That's how slow they were.
 
Too stiff too slow, hips too tight, obvious wind up, quit moving that left foot before the kick. Izzy gonna see that shit coming from a mile away. Focus on more speed and not trying to kick hard.

Other than that you got it Paula.
 
His biggest point of improvement needs to be in checking kicks and other forms of defense. That's how all his problems started, he had no answer for the damage to his lead leg.

He needs to stop bodybuilding and get Gastelum in his camp to help him with distance covering and management
 
I still think Costa has a chance against Izzy but his strategy was a mess. He gave himself zero chance of winning. He fought Izzy in all the places he was weakest and Izzy was strongest. It was completely bizarre, especially after all the trash talk.
