I think reyes tried to coast the first 2 rounds because he expected jan to slow down. Not for his own cardio issues but he just let him get settled and comfortable. Same with costa. If you have bad cardio saving your explosive attacks for when your more tired is stupid. His only chance to win was an early KO and he didn’t try to get one. Sometimes when people are unbeaten they have to learn they can’t take anything that’s thrown at them. Costa will learn from this

Costa did taunt too much. This is a fight. Costa did exactly what he was blaming Israel's other opponents for. If he just came forward and put it all on the line right from the get-go, it couldn't have been a much worse outcome than this...

bring back Vettori or anyone who will actually try to take him down and try to produce something on the ground, only standing with him is like trying to fight an orca in the sea

Costa's plan to out kickboxing at range against Israel has to be the stupidest game plan ever this year. Failure on his team and himself.

I think Vettori. Whoever it will be will have to be a wrestler. No striker is beating Izzy.

Great performance from Izzy, gotta respect a champion that takes on all the “beasts” of the division and backs his pre-fight antics up with clear, decisive victories. He damn near made it look easy.
