Oh Oh Nick Ring fighting in Canada. Costa better finishes the fight, or Ring wins via decision loss, Lenard Garcia style...

I generally go with Ring, but Costa is so freaking awesome now, using awesome boxing with insane TDD.

Philippou is a very strong striker and he has pretty solid TDD gonna give him the UD here.

all 12 of you are wrong. ring wins by decision. look how many costa's last few fights have ended(decisions). nick ring is second only to the great gsp in hero worship in canada. + _ +. he broke up a beatdown and a robbery for pete's sake.

mma math never works. ring can take punishment. McGee beat the zhit out of him the last two rounds and he still got the decision and he was surprised he got it too. the fix is in. : ~ }

I believe ya about the fix, if any fighter has it, it's Ring. I just don't think Costa gets hit by Ring like McGee was in their bout. Costa's TDD + his nice striking is gonna leave Ring looking like a battered house wife. Sorry to joke about wife beating
