Paulo Costa showed he could go the distance
The one and only question about Costa coming into his fight tonight against Yoel Romero was his gas tank. Could he go the distance, and if so, would he have anything left? He showed tonight that he could go 15 minutes strong against one of the best in the world against Yoel Romero.
It was a narrow decision victory for Costa, but one that I agree with clearly. I had him winning the first two rounds easily, and just narrowly losing the third and final round. At 13-0, with 11 KO’s, he is right in the thick of the UFC Middleweight Title picture.
