‘The Eraser,’ while speaking to ESPN MMA’s Brett Okamoto, said:
The Brazilian also gave fans a glimpse of his psychological mindset, saying he was going into the octagon with an ‘all in or nothing’ attitude.
The 30-year-old Brazilian also poked fun at himself and his controversial situation about him drinking wine the night before his middleweight championship fight against Adesanya.
Costa also quoted a famous line previously said by ‘The Notorious’ Conor McGregor:
‘Borrachinha’ also spoke about Robert Whittaker and whether he deserves a title shot next against the current king of the middleweights, Israel Adesanya.
Watch his full interview with Brett Okamoto below:
Paulo Costa will return to the octagon after a year-long layoff
Paulo Costa will compete on October 23 when he faces Marvin Vettori.
His return to the octagon comes after a year-long layoff, during which he completed a hair transplant procedure.
Paulo Costa’s last fight came against UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya. ‘The Last Stylebender’ knocked the Brazilian out in the second round of their contest at UFC 253.
Vettori’s last fight was also against Israel Adesanya. ‘The Italian Dream’ was on the wrong side of a unanimous decision at UFC 263. His fight against Costa could be influential in the middleweight division, and the winner of the fight could receive another attempt at Adesanya.
Who do you think will get their hand raised on October 23, Paulo Costa or Marvin Vettori? Let us know below!
