Ricky Martin is gonna push forward, he only knows domination, the ability to make another man quit. He's gonna walk Adesayna down, Adesayna makes errors. If he ****s up, Ricky Martin puts him to sleep. But Ricky Martin is one dimensional, what if this turns in to the **** show that was Yoel vs. Styleguy, it won't
Ricky won't let up on the offense, and Adesanya is a master at counter striking although he is prone to being hit.
This will be fight of the year, this will be a war, you can't deny Ricky, you can't deny Stylebenderguy.

I'm picking Costa because I thin k he's ( Izzy) is gonna get marched down against the fence and Teed off on. Romero and Gastelum both had moments when they were able to do this to him and Costa is better than both of them in that capacity combined.
It's quite possible that Adesanya wings around the cage picking him apart however.

Anyway both are overrated, neither fought the best or certainly most dangerous.
Costa beat the **** out of romero, izzy ran away little else to compare.
Much of izzy early career was cans bums and guppies go look, he fought melvin g at 185 dude was washed up and a lightweight.
Costa appears to have fought lots of cans too, anyone with a perfect record has deal with it.
Both fought short slow welts costa finished his..a former champion, izzy beat up a fat gasbag. "after almost being kod early"
I would bet any decent middleweight champ of old in their prime would beat both, id even give one eyed bisping a 20 percent chance.
Bring on the downvote sad little trolls who can't do simple research and just jump on hypes.
