Former UFC Middleweight Championship Contender Paulo Costa remembered his defeat in the battle with Israel Adesanya.
“People had high hopes for me when I fought Israel. I fully understand their frustration. Then I had a very good hype, and I was undefeated. I have to tell everyone who was mad at me that I'm still mad at myself. I lost a very good opportunity because I had everything to defeat this skinny guy. I was very worried before the fight. In a good way, I should not have fought, because I did not have good conditions for this. I didn't sleep, I had cramps all over my body, but I'm a persistent guy. Fighting that day was a bad idea. My reflexes were bad."
Recall that earlier Costa said that Khamzat Chimaev was afraid of him.
