Media Paulo Costa thinks Stephens doesn't deserve to be in the UFC

And got gifted a decision over a 42 year old one eyed Yoel Romero LOL

He also dropped Yoel as well tho.
 
Eh wtf was starting to like him after the Romero fight despite it being obvious he is on "something"..

Eye poking is disgusting.. why is Stephens getting shit for it? When are people gonna be called on this BS.. what's next the refs will just ignore kicks to the groin also?
 
Seemed like Stephens wanted out. Now if the eye is badly injured then it'll make sense, otherwise Costa is right. A lot of fighters in that situation will say they're ok even if they're not. Stephens just kept saying "he got me good."
Does an eye even stay shut like that when people are trying to open it with their fingers or was he holding it shut?
 
Fight couldve easily went 2-1 either way, hardly a gift. Sticking ur tongue out while ur backed against the cage doesnt score points

Isn’t “easily 2-1 either way” a draw? Lol
 
This dude should have lost his last fight and c’mon buddy you got caught using an IV! Be glad your licensed to fight you fuck.

Could have a detached retina or scratched cornea. Who knows what the actual damage was. I’d reserve judgement until we find out.
 
you cant question jeremys will to fight, the guy is a ufc legend already, hes had around 30 fights ffs.

the poke was really bad, worse than jon jones.
 
Big lol @ people hating on Costa saying he got caught using an IV, when his opponent is literally 42 year old olympian designer ped Romero.
Shaming Costa for cheating but praising Yoel seems.. contradictory.
 
All brawn and no brains. Stephens is one of the toughest mf in the sport. Costa needs to put some respect on his name. He's one to talk, got caught cheating and got gifted a decision, god i hope Whittaker knocks the rest of his hairline off

Costa did not get gifted a decision.

That also wasn't a legitimate knockdown in the sense of Costa losing his bearings due to the impact of the punch jolting his nervous system and buckling his knees. It was the momentum of Romero's punch transferring onto Costa's upper body while he was shifting his weight for a follow-up left hook or an uppercut. Essentially Romero's punch tilted Costa towards his right while Costa didn't have solid footing on that side. The "knockdown" could have been achieved by a simple push to the same spot with the same timing.

It's either that, or Costa got hit by an Osotogari from the astral plane.

Romero was found innocent and successfully compensated for his tarnished Cuban glorious soldier of God physique that the supplement company tried to ruin and taint.
 
Nice on-character work from Costa here. Going full meathead is definitely the move for him right now.
