Rumored Joe Pyfer vs. Paulo Costa next? How would that go?

Costa isn't great but he's better than Pyfer
 
Trying to sign a fight with Costa is poison for your career. So many got burned one way or the other because of it. That guy manages to not show up after he signs or other funny business.
 
Would actually be a good fight to make. Costa still a name, could be a main card fight on a PPV or high up on a fight night.
 
Years ago I'd have said Vettori eats him alive. Not so much now. Wild how much the guy has regressed during his prime years.

Prime years vary wildly by fighter, and a lot of it has to do with how much mileage they rack up in their younger years. Between training, damage received in the fights themselves, and those oh so common injuries most fighters are shot before 30, especially if they started young.
 
Pyfer probably loses. Sure he'd be live for a first-round KO. But other than that I don't think he'd be able to reliably take down Costa and hold him down. And if Paulo is able to manage distance (something he's deceptively good at) and implement his kicking game... Joe struggles against that.
 
I think not being able to bully Costa might have something to do with it. I’d take Costa 60/40.

How ya figure?

Both guys have proven durable so in that sense a KO may not be so likely, but neither one of these guys can described as a pitter-pat puncher.

As a fellow salty dog, I understand.

Remember, Melvin Guillard/Jeremy Stephens managed to be on of the worst fights of 2010. Thanks, Greg Jackson!

MMA be like that sometimes.

Paulo already had a fight this year.
He'll probably fight in 2027.



English is not my main language.
Can someone please explain to me the nickname joke?
Body camera?
"the body came off"?




The juice is secret.
So Joe doesn't know about the juice, since is secret juice.

"Body cam off" refers to the cameras police wear on their uniform to film interactions with the public. The joke (not funny) is that police will turn the cameras off before they beat the shit out of the suspect/citizen so there is no evidence of it happening. So basically Pyfer is saying he beats people up like the police in the USA, I guess... It's stupid.

As pointed out in the comments, Pyfer's preferred opponents all lost their last fights: Vettori coming off an L, Cannonier coming off an L, Dolidze coming off an L.

Honestly that's a tough fight to call imo. I imagine it would be a stand up affair as I don't feel either guy would be gunning for takedowns. I really don't know who I favor -- Costa doesn't always come prepared, but he does have a granite chin, so a KO would be a tall order even for Pyfer.
 
Pyfer has better hands and footwork
Costa has better kicks

Going with the guy who dictates the range and that would be Pyfer. In a close fight, with Costa gassing in the later rounds. Assuming it's a 5 rounder.

No clue who has the grappling advantage at this point.

One look at Pyfer when the fight hits the ground and I gotta go with Costa. (I don't know if I can trust a man who doesn't like Mexican food).

Costa is terrified of five round fights
