Former UFC middleweight champion Robert Whittaker summed up the results of the fight with the ex-challenger for the belt Paulo Costoi.

Let us remind you that on February 17 at the UFC 298 tournament in Anaheim, USA, the Australian defeated the Brazilian on points.

“There was a better version of Costa in the Octagon, it was unexpected. His kicks and his speed surprised me. He was much faster than in his past fights and than I expected. This was his best version, but I managed to take him down and defeat him.

Everyone talks about how great he looked. Paulo was in his best form, but I still beat him. Respect to him, besides, it seems to me that this version of Costa can beat many of the guys in the top,” Whittaker is quoted as saying by Middle Easy.
