The president of UFC, Dana White, I don’t like the performance of Paulo Costa in front of Israel Adesanya at UFC 253. At a press conference after the event, at Fighting island, the boss criticized the Brazilian’s lack of initiative, who ended up being knocked out in the second round, in combat valid for the middleweight belt.
“It went from fight of the year to domination of the year. It was weird, because, if you look at any other fight Costa had, he would go to people like they owed him money. I think he landed a jab tonight. He didn’t attempt a clinch, he didn’t try to pressure, he didn’t follow Adesanya into the octagon. It was weird”explained White.
Dana, who was enthusiastic about the fight, the week before the event, cannot explain the reasons for the performance Coast. Dana, for his part, gave his credits to the champion, who remains undefeated in the MMA.
“You will have to ask him. It doesn’t matter what it was. Adesanya was surgical. The first kicks crushed Costa’s leg. Then he attacked the knees. Then I connect with ease “. Concluded.
After losing the opportunity to be crowned champion, the defeat faced Adesanya it was the first in the Brazilian’s career. Before UFC 253, Rubber he was still undefeated in 13 fights.
