Paulo Costa is a terrible match up for Israel and will KO him stiff

[WhitestKidU’Know]

I’m not saying this is impossible because Costa is a fucking beast but the last time someone super aggressive fought Izzy they got KTFO.


I want Costa to win but I think Izzy takes it. 4th round TKO

agree with TS..Costa is going to walk through him and won't fight like a bitch like Yoel. its going to be fun

Rob didn’t “fight like a bitch” like Yoel.

You do realize that Yoel could beat the shit out of you using nothing but his head, right? The dumb shit some people post on here...

Izzy/Yoel isn’t the first time two counter striker have fought like that and it won’t be the last.

The one thing I don't get is the extreme hype behind Adesnya. He's a great fighter, the champ and a tough fight for anyone, but I don't see why some see him as the second coming. Will he be a star? I don't use Twitter or IG but when it comes to not-trash social media, does anyone actually write about him to make you think he will become a huge star? His fights also haven't been that entertaining and he's a weird dude. Great fighter, seems to be a nice guy, but I don't see him ever being a huge star or becoming an unbeaten champ like Silva that everyone was afraid of.

On topic: This will be a good fight, I think it's pretty much 50/50.

Why not the left hook that dropped Romero like a sack of mud instead of two shots Romero absorbs with literally no effect. Your argument is also flimsy on many points; Costa does not have great cardio, he's gassed several times. You don't carry that much muscle and have a large gas tank. Also, Israel is not an idiiot - he will not stand and trade until Costa gets tired around the third round, and even then he may remain cautious and cruise to a UD. Costa can win, but he had far fewer ways to victory than Adesanya.

Didn't loads of people say his last two opponents would do that?

Yeah its wishful thinking. Yoel arguably beat Costa and couldn't get the job done on Israel either. If he's careful, he will win again.
