Media Paulo Costa: “F*** Khamzat! He needs to do something. He barely beat Usman!”

[chinarice]

Costa does 1 of 2 things these days:
1) Talk shit on social media
2) Pull out of fights

Adesanya ruined this guy

 

[VinceArch]

True AF, that Khamzat guy sure can tweet !

Don't need no fight, heem smesh evree one on tweeters.​

He can also win fights against good compeition. I don't know if Paulo can do the same

 

[cws80us]

Costa is absolutely correct in that he is about to fight a guy far more qualified than Khamzat. Rob is a ex-MW champ and perennial MW contender that has fought and beat some of the best in the division for many years. He is as tough of a MW fight as anyone could ask for. Costa gets a lot of shit around here (some of it rightfully so) but the reality is he has fought Romero, Izzy, Vettori, Luke and now Rob….who has Khamzat fought at MW to lay claim to any damn thing?

Lol at talking down on somebody for beating Usman, as if he wasn't one of the biggest names in the sport when it happened.

I bet Paulo want us to praise him for his "all-out action" performance vs Rockhold, though

Usman may have been a big name, but not at 185. He was a 170 who came in on like, a week's notice. He lost twice in a row to edwards, and was being written off as being too old. He was 100% expected to lose that fight.

Hopefully we'll soon see them at their best. Both have great abilities to kick ass.

Khamzat shows up to his fights, so there's that.

Who has Costa beat in the last 2 years? Khamzat has a better resume in that time period and it's not close. Losing title shots doesn't count.

Beating full camp Rockhold 30-27 and out-grappling him is more impressive than barely scraping by 10 days notice Usman at MW.

Khamzat might be a clown but he have no right to tal shit after pulling out of their fight.

No, no its not, the fact Paulo and his so called "power" could not put a washed glass jaw Rockhold out of his missery is a pretty bad look.

Usman has done nothing at MW. Out-grappling Rockhold is way more impressive than barely beating 10 days notice Usman at MW. Costa is the only fighter who's ever gotten the better of Rockhold on the ground. Khamzat is lucky that fight wasn't scored 28-28 on one more scorecard.

Lol, scraping by, Rockhold lost every round and Costa out grappled him as well. 10 days notice Usman at MW is not a better win.

Rockhold has absolutely no chin and Costa is supposed to be some big power puncher. He was expected to knock Luke out and never really got close. Khamzat’s performance against Usman was more impressive IMO.

 

[burningspear]

costa/romero > khamzat/gilbert

 

[Native7]

A Costa win against a former reigning champ would cock block Khamzat from title shot.

Khamzat would have to fight a top 10 contender and wait in line.

 

[Billthebutcher]

Costa's correct. Cleft-lip squeaked by Usman, who was fresh and ready for 2 more rounds.

 

[VinceArch]

Hopefully we'll soon see them at their best. Both have great abilities to kick ass.

Yes, hopefully. I'm still not sure if Costa will show up by Saturday but would like to be wrong.

Usman wasn't checked out of the fight in round 1 and holding his hands on his legs.

True AF, that Khamzat guy sure can tweet !

Don't need no fight, heem smesh evree one on tweeters.​

Costa beats Khamzat on Twitter too, double champ.

 

[James Eagle]

Hamzat has 0 top 10 wins at MW

Volk had 0 wins at lw, everyone today jumps up

 

[JudoThrowFiasco]

Volk had 0 wins at lw, everyone today jumps up

Volk was dominant in his division and multiple time defending champion...and was called out by the LW champ.

That’s why it is much more impressive to outgrapple and dominate Rockhold on the ground, than just trying to lame KO him. No one has been able to outgrapple Luke, but quite a few have KOd him.
