Paulo Costa: Khamzat Chimaev Avoiding a Combat With Me: ‘He Simply Needs to Combat Small Guys’

30 thoughts on “Paulo Costa: Khamzat Chimaev Avoiding a Combat With Me: ‘He Simply Needs to Combat Small Guys’”

1. Costa vs Khamzat sounds interesting

2. Paulo got the hair implants and got +10 charisma

3. Did Vettori have any success grappling Costa? I don’t remember

4. Ironically Costa and Khamzat are both the weight bullies of their division.

5. Rob or Khamzat. Who would you rather see for his last fight?

6. Says the guy who weighs 220+ fighting at 185.

7. Remeber costa rolling with rockhold

   It won’t be so easy but

8. Costa has some pretty sick tdd. Look at his insane balance on that takedown Yoel went for at the start of their fight.

9. Kind of a bit silly considering Paulo walks around at heavyweight

10. Ironic coming from the guy who cuts 30+ lbs to make Middleweight.

11. Who could dislike this patriot?

12. Paulo is being very smart here, calling out Kcalhamzat.

    Possibly Take the hype of massive potential superstar at the division below on his last contact, and get a fat contract renewal at the UFC or a massive contact elsewhere

13. Costa looked like shit against Luke, I do not think he’s a looming matchup for anyone.

14. Costa hasn’t had an impressive win since he knocked out Hall in 2018.

    The Romero fight could have gone the other way, he lost to Izzy, he lost to Vettori after a completely unacceptable weight change he forced, and he was the only guy unable to finish Rockhold since 2007.

    His resume is unimpressive outside of barely edging out Romero.

15. He’s not wrong

16. Costa is 100% right, khamzat doesn’t want to fight a bigger guy in any division because he (along with most wrestlers) are weight bully’s, same thing with khabib. They also only wanna fight people who’s wrestling is most likely suppar.

17. Holland used to fight at 185

18. As is dogestani tradition.

19. They should throw him straight to the sharks at middleweight for missing weight and not even caring about it.

20. Costa being a huge middleweight also implies he likes fighting small guys lol. Being bigger than the other guy works out well a lot of the time

21. I know mmath doesn’t work but the Costa that showed up and beat Romero destroys Khamzat.

22. Costa wins this probably. Size difference will shut down the wrestling. Much better chance against Tall skinny izzy

23. He have fought like 5 times in Middleweight, and GM3 used to fight in LHW. So not true Costa, but if you want multiple belts you need to start with the lowest weight class, just like Conor did.

24. Dana we all know your in here with Hunter looking for match ideas. Costa is definitely worth the pay increase to see this! This is definitely a interesting matchup, Chimaev would have to take this to the ground and quickly if he hopes to beat a volume striker like Costa. I don’t see Khamzat knocking him out, especially if Costa can afford the good cocanut water

25. Catchweight, Costa balloons to 215 and eats Khazmat in the 2nd Round.

26. Was a painful watch that interview

27. Costa is pure comedy.

28. Khamzat would maul this guy tbh

29. I honestly think Khamzat will run through him. Costa’s last few fights have not made him look particularly impressive, especially the most recent one against Rockhold.

    I believed after the fantastic Romero fight, but he seems to have peaked already.

30. Will this roided out clown fight someone a weight division above him?
