    • Bobby Knuckles gives a vibe of a English bare knuckle veteran in the 80's with a record of something like 300W,100L,25D or something. Like a old timer boxer with a face turned to mush. Legendary nickname only after "shoeface" and "bate estaca"

  • I have a question, Paulo Costa's last fight in California was at UFC 241 against Yoel Romero, his fight night weight was 214 lbs as he exceeded the allowed percentage of gained weight, so the CSAC usually recommend these fighters to move up to the next weight class the next time they fight in California, so what happens now? Thanks.

    @joelsanchez3284@joelsanchez32842 ай бұрын
    • Agreed. If anything his cardio and scrambles looked good, but aside from that… he fought an old and gassed out Rockhold and didn’t even come close to finishing him.

      @fernandoish9194@fernandoish91942 ай бұрын
    • I think Costa looked really bad, because he was not against prime Luke. Rockhold was out of the game, and came back to fight Costa. Luke had gassed out fast, even though he landed a lot of good strikes. Whittaker lost his last bout, that is why people are underestimating him.

  • I’m in the minority but I feel Paulo Costa gets a knockdown and gets Robert Whittaker out with Ground and Pound.Robert gotten knocked down 2 out of his last 3 fights. Robert kicks(particularly his oblique kicks) needs to be a key factor to win.Robert has a big leg reach advantage (43.5 inches to 39).

  • I still believe Costa is a fucking fighter, when he fought Adesanya he just froze and got carried away by the pressure. He's super strong and super fast and if he comes in confident, he's going to give Bobby Knuckles some serious work to deal with. on the other hand, if he comes insecure and "hyper-respectful" like he did with adesanya... Rob will dismantle him.

  • I think people may be overblowing the size difference. Rob has really filled out into the weight class and walks into the cage around 93-94 kg according to an interview and Costa recently posted something saying he was 93.8 kg. Costa will likely be less than a few pounds heavier and height and reach considered together they will be pretty similarly sized all around.

Against a rangey, kick heavy striker he landed nothing…Whittaker is a striker who fights long, he doesn’t fight inside, he keeps you at his own range. Costa won’t win this. Costa is shit, idk why people keep gassing him. He ONLY looks good against flat footed strikers and old men.
