I think Israel is a very good, hes a good fighter dont like him very much but hes a good fighter but Costa is dangerous hes so explosive and hes got mad cardio and hits like a truck. Look at the size of him! Im sure that does something. Im sure that has something to do with why he keeps hurting people. You know how people [say] size doesnt matter. Look at the size of him! You fight him then and tell me it doesn’t matter

Don't know what Robert is smoking, "Costa has mad cardio"?? WTF.

<{Joewithit}>
 
I think in a 5 rounder Israel will win a boring decision. Don’t know why people think costa will have anything after the first two rounds are done. Too muscle bound and he’s going to gas if he doesn’t get the KO in the first two rounds.
 
Whittaker just praying that he can fight Costa instead for that belt because he knows Adesanya will tool him every time.
 
Adesanya has a 35% chance at best of beating Paulo

Paulo will smoke him
 
after what he had to deal with over 10 rounds vs romero who everyone says does not feel like a normal human and then seeing costa show up as a uber version of Romero and beat him i'm sure hes thinking that is the hardest fight in the division for anyone. costa has been impressive. hes not fading as much as you'd expect in the second and third rounds. there are guys better than him with wrestling and bjj but i think in this division with his size and strength hes basically invulnerable to these things as far as losing to them and then standing he manages to throw power and speed the entire fight. I think he eventually loses to cardio and cutting to much weight but right now i think his hype is just. going to be crazy to see him fight izzy. would say i'd like to see him go five rounds with romero but if romeros idea of fighting now is to use zero wrestling , never engage and wait for power shots while taking to much damage in the process i hope he just retires. that shit is disappointing to watch and not fun. Like taking something truly special and throwing it away.
 
I like Rob, but I don’t think that a gig as mma analyst is in the cards..
