News Paulo Costa Calls for Rematch Upset Izzy Humped Him

Obviously he shouldn't get a rematch after that performance, he made no argument for that in the cage. Instead they should fine and suspend Adesanya. What other sports promotion or better yet what company in the world would ever tolerate such behaviour by their contractors, and under their official banner on top? They already tolerated backstage fights, dollies thrown at busses and countless remarks that would and should get you fired from any other job these last 2-3 years just cause Dana's getting hard hoping that will make people want to watch the fights cause he can put it in some promo packages that Joe Rogan has to dramatically shout over. If anything this will have the opposite effect on advertisers, broadcasters and associations that want to get involved with such a sport and company.
 
Shame he didn't see it while he was in the cage. I would've enjoyed his reaction. Maybe another Conor/Khabib aftermath.
 
“Something happened before the fight but I’m no make a excuse”

He’s so pathetic. That’s the best he came up with, after he put up that humiliating performance following the year long tirade he launched against Adesanya?

Funniest shit I’ve seen in mma in years
 
Can't be a rematch if you never showed up for the first fight.
 
People say he needs 3 good wins.
Seriously?
Not that I disagree, his performance was weak AF, but who else is there.

Whittaker - 1 win, also got outclassed like Costa and Whittaker actually is more talented
Hermansson - 1 win
Cannonier - if he beats Whittaker

That's it!
 
Pick yourself up, dust yourself of and start all over again. I picked Izzy but Costa still my boy. This could be a Cejudo vs MM story.
