Whittaker: Aggression was the key to defeating Costa

Dmitriy Kel Feb. 19, 2024, 1:35 p.m.

Former UFC middleweight title holder Robert Whittaker spoke about what helped him win over Paulo Costoi.

“I knew what this fight would be like. I knew what I wanted to show the fans - this is exactly the kind of fight they got. Knew that Paulo would not back down. A week before the tournament, I described our fight exactly like this. Paulo is a huge bull, and if you allow him to act as he pleases, he will attack a lot and powerfully.

I did exactly what I promised - I gave him the fight. My aggression became the main tool that helped me win. Aggression and rhythm. He said that this would be the key to victory - and so it happened,” Sportskeeda quotes the Australian.
