Why are we not doing Costa versus Izzy rematch?

[Koro_11]

I’m assuming Izzy is gonna fight again. He’s on a terrible skid and needs a name he can beat, though beating costa at this point is by no means guaranteed for him.

It would be a compelling matchup with the background story, built into it, and a winnable fight for both fighters. I know Paolo laid and egg in that first fight, but I have a feeling he would be much more aggressive this time and Izzy is not what he used to be.

 

[SalvadorAllende]

I don't think it would be good for their lovechild.

It was bad enough when Costa had to take that maternity leave after their 1st fight.

 

[Kung Fu Kowboy]

Costa would have pulled out of this fight the day before it was supposed to be signed.

 

[arcadeperfect]

Not worth the effort. Hard to top the first performance.

 

[TriangleMonkey]

Let’s just do a break-dance fight

Izzy vs MVP

 

[Motivated BJ Penn]

I dont think Costa wants to be bred again, he might have some trauma for it.

I remember right after the fight he looked like he wanted revenge "I jizzaprove a hunred percent" but then never once did he utter Izzys name again.

 

[Pequeño Corey]

That was actually a really good fight. Costa still had that confidence and swagger. They were talking shit the whole time.



"Romero?"

"Homero"

And I feel like with how Izzy molested costa as well there will be some bad blood now

 

[Human Bass]

Costa isnt reliable at all

The fight makes sense for Costa...but I'm not sure what it does for Izzy.

Izzy probably wouldn't improve upon the first performance and a 2nd win over Costa does very little from a legacy perspective. At best, it would show Izzy is not washed and would get him a better fight next? I know it will probably never happen...and maybe he needs a win first anyway...but in Izzy's shoes, I would want the Strickland rematch.

 

[Brca031]

Costa got picked apart...total destruction. I wont even talk about "that". Costa had to put a bullet in his head and just serve the time.

Man Izzy was in prime form that night. He picked Costa apart. Chopped him down, then impregnated him.

 

[gentel]

Why would we do rematches when there are fresh fights to make?

Izzy vs Caio, RDR, and MVP are all more interesting

 

[RockyLockridge]

Or Izzy vs Shara.bulett either are good options

 

[WoozyFailGuy]

Costa isnt reliable at all

Notorious pullout merchant

 

[Mr.Maelstrom]

I mean, we all saw what Izzy did.

Costa can't make it to the cage now anyway

 

[Söze Aldo]

Costa is right now, actively trying to get cut from the UFC. He's admitted to such before. He wants to box a Paul brother.

 

[jsbx45]

Great question. Likelihood of Costa showing up is low unfortunately.

 

[TempleoftheDog]

Because “we” are smart enough to know that Costa will pull out.

He just pulled out of 326.

 

[nonoob]

Because “we” are smart enough to know that Costa will pull out.

He just pulled out of 326.

Yeah, burt Paulo said he totally did finish in his first 325 babes.
