News Paulo Costa Calls for Rematch Upset Izzy Humped Him

Hardly deserved a title shot in the first place. Plenty of fights out there for him. I'd like to see him against Brunson, Till, Whittaker etc.. His most impressive performance by far was the close win over Romero. Hall is the only opponent he's beaten in the UFC that was coming off of a win.
 
Costa & Yoel should just have a trilogy (with a premise that its a title eliminator, but does not actually happen) They look good fighting eachother like Shogun & Hendo did.. but have no chance aganist the champ
 
Yes exactly like that. Maybe they will even make a new fake belt he can fight for

Yeah, the UFC really did everything they could think of to promote Masvidal. Hope they give him to Colby or Edwards next so that he can go back to the preliminaries. A "though guy" who ducks fights against higher ranked opponents that he in media picks fights with but doesn't dare to fight in the cage. And one of them he sucker punched in the face backstage.
Masvidal is a hypocrite.
 
Well maybe this will get him to actually engage this time and fight
{<hhh]
 
Hahahaha. Like he’s gonna do something in a rematch. I’d be laying low for a while if I was him.

I dont hate the guy but he needs to fight Edwards and stop parading his toybelt around like he is a legit champ
 
I like Costa but a couple fights before a rematch would do him a lot of good. He’s really good but he needs to improve on tracking down technical and fast fighters like Izzy. There aren’t any fighters in the division that really fight like Izzy but st the least he can put in tons of time in training and camp to try to figure it out and implement some of it in his next fights
Adesanya will always be one step ahead of him. Levels to the game.
 
You guys are forgetting sonething, this is not a sport its an entertainment product. The Izzy/Costa faceoff was their most viewed one ever, and im assuming did a decent buyrate, that means there would be eyes on a rematch too. Expect to see it happen after Costa wins another fight or two.

Yeah I mean I don’t think he necessarily can ever get to Izzy’s level in striking but he can possibly develop strategies to win. It’s a big MAYBE and not something I’d bet on but either way my point is he needs time to figure shit out as opposed to trying to get back in there with him right away

Bwahahahahaha and im a Costa fan
 
WTF ? Aren't kid watching WWE too ?

The best part is that the camera stays on her too long while she’s undressing under the covers and totally catches her bare breast on the air...

Some people even believe that the nip slip was even done on purpose.
 
I'm glad Costa appreciates the gravity of the situation.

Time for revenge is coming... Soon.
 
Eh by the time he’s ready for a rematch Izzy will be long gone from 185
 
Imagine getting completely outclassed and finished within two rounds, and thinking that you deserve a rematch.
<36>
Costa needs to fight Whittaker, Cannonier, Hermansson, and possibly Romero again (I think that fight could have been scored as a draw anyway) and if he wins all of those fights then MAYBE he can get a rematch with Izzy. Until then, Costa doesn't deserve shit.
 
No rematch anytime soon .... one of the most one sided bearings in ufc title fight history
