News Paulo Costa vs. Robert Whittaker Targeted For March

[GaryEric]

He defended most of Yoel's takedowns without trouble

Vettori isn't a great offensive wrestler and is stiff as a board on the feet, he would get lit up on the feet and beaten down.

Pay no mind Vettori seems to be the flavor of the month around here.

 

[The_Renaissance]

Why not I guess, good scrap. Winner gets title shot maybe?

 

[Goldentrophy]

Sucks if Rob realy has to win 3 fights to get back a title shot and even if so it would make sense for him to fight Vetorri since they are on win streaks. Till/ Costa makes more sense.

 

[Kwic]

That's a great fight. If Costa can't get through Bobby, who has decent footwork himself, he shouldn't sniff the rematch with Adesanya anytime soon.

 

[HaulParris]

I don't hate it, but I don't like it either

 

[svmr_db]

Should be Whittaker vs Vettori & Costa vs Cannonier.

Costa shouldn't be getting another crack immediately at Adesanya even if he smokes Whittaker.

 

[SKITZADACTYL]

whittaker definitely deserved the next shot, costa doesnt deserve the #1 contender after getting embarrassed like that. hopefully rob fights like he did against cannonier and he should fuck him.

 

[Elvis.]

I’m surprised that many people dislike this fight

 

[gluehuffer1776]

easy win for costgoat

 

[Kryptt]

I'll take it...but would rather Costa vs Vett and Whit vs Izzy when he is done with Jan...assuming he comes back. If Rob doesn't want to wait then this will do as well I guess.

 

[theTKDguy]

Whittaker vs vettori
Till vs costa

 

[Cpt Migraine]

Fuck! Yes!

 

[Arrrrgh]

Let's GEAUX!

Bobby "The Reaper" Knuckles.

How can you not be a fan of this dude? He puts in work, has incredible talent, is generally a nice person with an affable/fun personality, and fuckin' murders.

Thank you Robert Whittaker.

And it looks like Costa took a smart fight where won't need to talk shit and say stupid things so his opponent won't embarrass him after the KO.

 

[Kthankss]

I love Rob Whitaker as a fighter but you know why I love this fight? Because he’s got comfortable in his pace and style... this fight will put a cracker up him because Cosfa hopefully won’t let him set a pace and be comfortable.

 

[gevoudane]

I like it, both fighters already lost to the champ. Whittaker's on a two fight win streak if he wins he proves he's earned the rematch, if Costa wins he proves he's still a contender and just needs one more win to earn the rematch.

 

[Portland8242]

Till vs Costa makes way more sense. He should have to fight another guy coming off a loss

 

[PunchKicker]

"I'm not stoked to fight him"

"But honestly, I know he’s trying to do everything else and good on him to do that. I’m not thinking about him. He can go up to light heavy or heavyweight. Doesn’t bother me."

Oh honey! Thats why Robert said that Izzy is the one that interest him the most right now. So what you talking about honeybun? You obviously only slurping up what dana shits out his mouth, regardless of actual video proof of it being false what Dana said.

I like it, both fighters already lost to the champ. Whittaker's on a two fight win streak if he wins he proves he's earned the rematch, if Costa wins he proves he's still a contender and just needs one more win to earn the rematch.

Some odd logic there. Whittaker's already had 2 major wins since his loss, beating Till and Cannonier both fighters who would likely have got title fights should they have won, yet you suggest he needs a third whereas Costa in your mind would only need to beat Whittaker and one other fighter.

 

[tripleo]

this is such a lit fight

only virgins complain costa deserve it or not

let them bang

 

[SirKratos]

Lol.... We are living in an era where top10 fghters face unranked guys all the time, but people complain about #3 ranked Costa who literally only lost to the champ, “doesn’t deserve” to fight someone who is ranked right next to him. Sherdog is full of shitters
