Costa looked amazing in that fight. So many opportunities to finish but I think once he saw Luke able to take his biggest shots, he fought a little smarter and less aggressive. What a fight tho!

Crazy ass fight. I think Costa's stock goes way down for not being able to finish an exhausted Rockhold. never seen someone put their hands on their knees in front of their opponent and just stare at them LOL

That was ******* disgusting but I would expect nothing less who asks girls if they spit or swallow on the first date 😂


Rockhold ain’t so sexy with all that blood on his face struggling to bleed though

Yeah I hate to say it but prime Luke ****s Costa up, probably even finishes him. Costa's stock just went way down tonight.
