"oooohhh. Costa has him emotional! He lost to a guy who can't speak English!"
Called it. Costa can't do anything in open space. His vaunted body punches only work against the cage.

Vettori?
Predictions: 7 of 11 Winners, 1 Perfect, 390 Points | Tied for 2190th
Vettori? Rewatched the fight researching. He "won" round 3 by literally clinging to Adesanya. Landed zero G&P. I think Vettori could feel how slippery Adesanya is.
When they were forced back up, Adesanya picked him apart again.
A dude like Khamzat has a chance. But, the guy is destined for a prospect loss first. He goes way too hard. After his win, even with time to recover, he was breathing HARD during the interview.

>Costa can't do anything in open space. His vaunted body punches only work against the cage.
No ****, anyone that has watched Costa fight realizes this. He only uses the body kicks in the open, everything else is done to get you trapped on the cage wall. Then once you're trapped is when he opens up with all his combinations and flurries. If he was good out in the open he wouldn't have had his face jabbed off by Uriah ******* Hall.
