Costa predicts knockout in fight with Whittaker

Brazilian UFC middleweight Paulo Costa gave a forecast for the upcoming fight with the former champion of the promotion in this weight Robert Whittaker.

“I will catch him. This will be a punch or a kick. I can’t say for sure. I have a feeling that I will force him to make a mistake, some kind of wrong movement and catch him with an invisible blow. He won’t see him and will just fall asleep,” Costa said.

The confrontation between Costa and Whittaker will take place on February 17 as part of the 298th UFC event.

Let us remember that Costa previously explained why he was fighting Whittaker. This is all due to the fact that Chimaev refuses to fight him.
