Paulo Costa at 205

[Schoolboy Q]

Gatekeeper at best.

Costa's 72" reach is gonna be a problem at 205. DC also has a 72" reach but the difference is DC has excellent wrestling, & is shockingly fast despite his physique.

I think he's in between classes, so he's almost 205 which makes him very dangerous at MW but not exactly a destroyer at 205.

He'll beat a lot of people but I don't know if he'll be a force of nature like he is at MW.

Most successful fighters are like that. Conor is almost a LW so he was super dangerous at FW, Khabib is almost a WW, GSP almost a MW etc etc.

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.

I have the exact same height/reach, but unfortunately lack EVERY PHYISICAL GIFT Costa has-_-

The Rumble that fought at LHW would dust Costa

The Rumble that fought at LHW does not exist anymore.

Costa doesn't have the proportions for 205. Reach and height are too short. He'd be dwarfed and overwelmed by the top guys.

 

[Johnnny]

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

Costa isn't bigger than 205ers.

His last fight was in California and they weigh fighters on fight night. Costa weighed 213.8 lbs. That is what he rehydrates to. Light heavyweights rehydrate to 220-230.

But Thiago and Smith are not big at 205 because they already fought at 185

Thiago's last fight at 185 was also in California. He weighed in at 209.5 on fight night. Since going up to 205, he has put on more mass. At the ceremonial weigh-in with Jan, he had already bulked up to roughly the same size.
