Paulo Costa at 205

[XThe GreatestX]

Seems somewhat inevitable right? If he beats Izzy he stays for a bit longer at 185, if he loses I imagine he goes up to 205 relatively soon.

is he as formidable at 205 or do Reyes/Jan/Santos and I guess Rumble if he gets down stop him getting the belt?

 

[Jose Beehive]

I think we'll see Izzy there first.

 

[Katsushyro]

He packs a absurd amount of muscle for 185 but would struggle with height and reach at 205. His presure style and amazing striking defense could make up for it, of course.

 

[Reign009]

He nukes everyone at LHW and HW with memes, muscle mass, and broken English.

Costa vs Rumble would be great match.

I think costa, if the money is right, would move up if he has a clear-cut loss to Izzy

Costa has a chin on him and doesn't get hit flush very often, If he could survive early Rumble I can see him winning by a late tko due to more durability.

Down.

He's 6' whch is 72" tall. He has a 72" reach. He's 1:1 height: reach. Just like the perfect man. Everyone else that is 'more reach' has monkey arms like Jon Jones 7' reach at 6'4". He looks lanky. The opposite are t-rex arms like Lobov, 5'6" reach at 5'9" height. He looks funny. Costa? The ideal human of perfect form. Perfect aesthetics. Visually stunning.

You can't survive LHW Rumble if you are a high volume striker with no one shot KO power, goes forward and put pressure.
You might be able to survive one or two bombs, not 7 or 8.

Costa rocks him and RNC's Rumble. That's Rumble's favourite way to go out.

Anyways I can definitely see Costa being at 205 within the next 2 years or so. Dudes like Reyes and Rakic are pretty athletic so I think a move up to HW would be better for Costa.

Costa is still only 29. I could definitely see Costa finishing old man Stipe or Ngannou if those guys are still around in 5 years. You can count on Costa to KO that tubby lardo Black Beast.

 

[Benoitthegr8]

IMO Costa would be obviously at a reach disadvantage at LHW, the fact that he’s primarily a striker maybe an issue with the longer opponents @205. That being said, Paulo and DC have the same reach 72”, the reach disadvantage didn’t seem to effect DC’s ability to be competitive with the bigger guys, like Costa DC used pressure effectively, Costa just doesn’t have the wrestling.

He is so big he is even bigger than 205ers but he can make 205 pretty easily unlike 185 which is so hard for him
