That's a lot of TKO (punches)

I don't think you understand what a one hitter quitter is
 
I don't know.... but his body shots look like they hurt like shit. He looks like he gets so much more into them, than most UFC Fighters.
 
Costa has power. However it's 100% athletics, and he doesn't sit down on his punches like a pro boxer would.
He needs to develop further and he will be very dangerous.
Fair enough, but everyone has power at 185. As you said, it's more about technique and how it's applied.
 
When I first saw that he was going to fight Izzy I thought that he would do well or even win because of the fight that Kelvin had.

But as I watched him more and more I realized he was just a moderately skilled brawler who didn't have the skills and experience to make it the fight that he needed (In fight, with loads of body shots, clinch fighting). And the fight played out like I figured -Izzy picking him apart from distance and costa unable to close the distance because he is just an athletic brawler.
 
If Michael Bisping was Brazilian, did steroids, had both eyes, and had hair plugs, he’d be Paulo Costa.
 
The guy absolutley has power. Vettori's defense was solid most of the fight,but just blocking that shit must have hurt alot.

I think he improved alot from the Yoel fight
