Paulo Costa *kills* Khamzat Chimaev

[Edward Henry Greb]

Chimaev would have lost to Rockhold on that same night Costa defeated him.

Remember, "the great wrestler" Khamzat was afraid to grapple the smaller, weaker Gilbert Burns.

WTF is Khamzat going to do with the bigger, stronger black belt like Paulo Costa? What could he have done to Rockhold.

Worse for the Chechen, Costa also hits harder than Burns, is bigger and stronger than Burns, and can physically impose himself on Chimaev like he's never experienced before.

This is why the chen-chen backed down, and deep inside his bones Khamzat knows this.

Glad to see Paulo Costa is still going to continue.

He is the man to ruin Khamzat Chimaev.

Paulo Costa with multiple defeats and being an in cage rape victim Vs the single most dominant fighter in ufc history (who even on his off night beat the number two ranked guy at his weight)?

put down that secret juice and get real

Costa looked like shit in that fight. Rockhold could barely muster an offense,and still Costa had a hard time with him.

 

[HHJ]

Like,the Costa that fought Vettori,that would be a tough fight for Chimaev,but the Rockhold fight,he was not impressive at all.

Costa's kind of overrated,but ironically,his loss to Vettori is when I was most impressed with him.

 

[Stagger Lee]

Kinda feel like Costa is just cashing in at this point. I don't expect him to come into this fight on fire sadly.

 

[Arm Barbarian]

No idea who wins but will watch the F outta that one if it happens.

Costa knows how to Rile Chimaev up.

 

[IneedSometop]

I agree that Costa beats Khamzat but definitely not based on the Rockhold fight. More so on the Yoel and Vettori fights

 

[OldBoy91]

The Costa that went to war with Romero is a fucking tough fight for the gourmet chen chen. No doubt about it.

Whether that guy still exists though? Who knows.

I bet you thought he'd ruin Adesanya too. I actually like Costa but he's better at comedy than fighting.

 

[Fergelmince]

Agreed. chimaev was SHOOK AF when costa took him up on his challenge. chimaev had to hide behind his boys while they blocked the door to the cage

 

[Tweak896]

Everyone is looking into minutia with this matchup. Khamzat would maul Costa worse than a prime Luke Rockhold.

I would love to see this fight very interesting matchup I would def watch.

That card was at an elevation that threw everyone for a loop. Nobody looked particularly “good” that evening. I agree about the Costa that fought Vettori I think that Costa or obviously the Romero fight version is problems for Chimaev the type that I personally wouldn’t see him overcoming.

[Reach Finesse]

Burns may be the most credentialed BJJ guy to ever fight in the UFC

 

[Reverse Baratoplata Sweep]

Imagine to compare ground skills of multiple times world champion to a guy that got his black belt from his brother and has 0 achievements in grapling

I bet they explored one another deeper after the fight.

 

[Wonderfight]

Yeah people are scared to grapple with Gilbert Burns because he is smaller dude, not because he is a bronze medalist at ADCC or gold medalist at World JJC coupled with having the most devastating hands from someone of that grappling pedigree. Guy loses only because he is stupid, God help him with that.
