Yes he is. He cuts a lot but IMO it is to his own detriment. 5 years ago he made it to a title fight and he has had 4 fights since. His time as a Top Level UFC fighter has been wasted and in large part it seems due to his inability to manage his body. Carrying too much "Vanity" muscle doesn't win you cage fights at the highest level of the sport.
Maybe just getting to a title fight was all he wanted and got his Socials to a level where he is better off being a body builder with followers and likes but purely for his career as a fighter he has been one of the bigger wastes of potential.
That's a good point, it did look like he was starting to have a panic attack and was trying to pause to put himself together a little. I hate public speaking so I know I would be the same, especially with all these people looking at you and everything is being recorded, don't want to say something stupid that will make you into a meme.Reminds me of a panic attack. When I have one my breathing gets all weird and it basically stops being involuntary and I start thinking about taking each breath. If you look at the shaking and weird breathing while he’s talking it seems like a panic attack. I don’t blame him honestly. I prob would be anxious too talking to thousands in a diff language about kicking another trained fighters ass.
BadassDude is massive … a gigantic dehydrated weight cut would have anyone shaking
I catch my hands shaking vaguely the next day after a heavy drinking night before being fully recovered/rehydrated
Costa is a big guy, look at home next to these welterweights.No that doesn't make him a big MW. That makes him a big weight cutter. And its not like others don't do similar.
A quick search foud a reddit thread with a sheet showing what fighters regained.
Geoff Neal + 30.3 lbs but he isn't a giant WW
Moicano gained 26.8 lbs and he isn't a huge LW and fought at FW
RDR regained 27.5 lbs
Several Fly Ws & BWs regained 20+ lbs
Aspen Ladd regained 24 lbs.
Yes, dehydration puts a lot of stress on kidneys too and can cause shaking, also low blood sugar.He looks a little yellow too, no? Liver struggling from the cut?
