Paulo Costa Scorches Israel: Adesanya Is The Most Shameful Champion I Have Ever Seen

[ReadWrite]

Paulo Costa Hopping Mad

Paulo Costa was so livid watching the main event between Israel Adesanya and Yoel Romero at UFC 248 that he hopped the rail cageside, only to be escorted away from the action — or lack thereof.

Following Adesanya's lackluster unanimous decision over Romero on Saturday night, Costa didn't hesitate ripping the UFC middleweight champion backstage at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Remember, Costa was supposed to fight Adesanya, but he suffered a biceps injury. Adesanya then called out Romero for a fight that fizzled as a dud. Costa was more than willing to let "The Last Stylebender" know all about it.

"Horrible fight," Costa said during the postfight press conference. "It was a shame to watch that fight. Adesanya is nothing. Adesanya is the most shameful champion I have seen ever. He just runs.

"He's nothing. He's scared. He doesn't deserve talk about him, but that fight was s—.

"I will make him cry," he continued. "I will hit him very badly and he will cry like a baby."

Costa added: "The fact is, Adesanya can't handle (Romero), and Adesanya can't handle against powerful guys like Romero, Jon Jones or me. That's why he's afraid to fight."

He ain’t wrong

 

[LetThemBleed]

I mean in terms of it being a stinky fight guy's not wrong and Adesanya should take as much blame for that as Yoel should.

 

[Iron Nick]

The guy who has entered the cage at 213 pounds at middleweight and has been caught using IV's accuses others of being shameful.

Interesting.

any news on jon jones izzy beef after this fight ?

 

[bad mojo]

Costa comes to fight. Nobody can say otherwise. Him vs Israel will be a great fight.

 

[BEER]

It was a shitty fight but I'm still confident that Izzy handles Costa pretty easily.

 

[mjfan23]

Watch as Israel runs away from him like Israel runs away from UN resolutions

 

[Murder_KickHC]

Costa comes to fight. Nobody can say otherwise. Him vs Israel will be a great fight.

I bet Izzy will just run away from him the whole fight looking like reindeer in lights. Thats what he is most known for but hopefully Costa is a great sprinter too and will catch him eventually

 

[chinarice]

Hope Izzy knocks this steroid fruitcake out cold.

 

[genecop]

Costa will kill Assysanya..

 

[Brit_Brawler]

I have never been confident that Israel would beat Costa. On paper it would seem like paulo is tailor made with non stop forward style and israel being the high level counter striker but the reality is that israel has looked vulnerable being pressured a few times now and paulo is way more than just a wild brawler. Hes pretty technical too and relentless he wont let israel off the hook at all.

 

[Lint]

He's salty at Izzy 'cuz both guys source their peds from the same dealer. Is normal.

 

[Headkicktoleg]

Costa comes to fight. Nobody can say otherwise. Him vs Israel will be a great fight.

We literally just said that about him and yoel

 

[Spidermine]

Would like to see natty goat take the title from the dirty kiwi.

 

[Lowercase p]

The guy who has entered the cage at 213 pounds at middleweight and has been caught using IV's accuses others of being shameful.

Interesting.

This was my first thought. Costa is the last fighter that should call others shameful. I can't wait until Ricky Martin gets shut up.

 

[Stalingrad9]

Costa went from the 3rd wheel guys who got a wrong decision going his way at 241 to the guy I wanna see with the belt next.

Yesterday's fight was shameful he's right. I'm still mad about it.

 

[bad mojo]

We literally just said that about him and yoel

TBH, I'm disappointed in both Yoel and Israel. But I don't believe this type of fight can happen against Costa.
