The size difference is too much.

[A.S. Deep]

6'3 195 - 200 vs 6'1 210 - 215

Wasn't Usman 192 lbs? We know for sure that Gus was 219 lbs in the cage at LHW vs Jones in the rematch.

It's an actual WW vs LHW fight in a way. Darren Till would be proud.

 

[r-harper-1]

DJ is more skilled than Ortega

Would he beat him in a fight?

Size matters less the bigger you are .... but I’m guessing you know that

 

[Streeter]

Costas power is so overrated.

He's a volume pressure striker. He's not a one hitta quitta.

 

[ILove4MinutesHyuna]

Standing this fight will look like Ngannou vs Stipe except Costa is getting finished.

 

[Streeter]

Costa should be able to just walk thru Izzys shots rd 1 and try an bull rush an land. After rd 1 if Izzy is still standing I don't think Costa will be able to just rush him after that and keep absorbing 2-3 shots to land 1 ...... by rd 3s end Costa likey beaten by TKO.

Natty rd 1
or
Izzy rd 3

 

[ElLunico]

Costa's size and power will only matter if he lands a solid shot.. Adesanya will be too elusive and accurate for him. Adesanya TKO 5th round

 

[asdf122345]

Don't think so OP. Izzy got this. Izzy is a sniper when fighting. Costa will gassed out by round 3.

 

[JarlSkuld]

The bull is 8 times heavier than the matador...but it still ends up as steak after getting sword through it's heart.

[Dbreiden83080]

Cardio. Championship rounds.

 

[CaptHANDSUP]

Henderson's right and everything Melvin Manhoef has ever thrown disagrees.

You dont even have to look into history. Jarod Cannonier has more 1 punch KO power.

 

[Jeandoozz]

Costa is the hardest hitting MW ever

Name someone who hits harder, I'll wait

dan henderson ?

 

[Beherit]

Obviously Izzy is the more technical striker but so was Rozenstruik against Ngannou.

Costa looked strong and healthy on the scale, he will be above 213 this time tomorrow.

Izzy on the other hand weighed in at 184 with some heavy necklace looking thing around his neck. He will be 195 at most on fight night.

Size matters folks, Israel is a dead man.

lol

 

[Th3Sav4ge]

As Izzy said, and I agree with him you don't just win based on size, you win based on skills.

agreed. also isreal is big as fuck. costa might weigh more, but hes not bigger
