Former UFC Middleweight Champion Luke Rockhold shared his thoughts on the duel between Paulo Costa And Khamzat Chimaevwhich will take place on October 21 at UFC 294 in Abu Dhabi, UAE.
“I think Chimaev could take advantage of his struggle. He can take Paulo. When I fought Costa, I was already rusty due to a long downtime. Already in the first round, I broke my nose, which affected the further course of the fight. Khamzat is in excellent shape, he is younger. He probably has better cardio.
Chimaev can win, but Costa can also take the fight. We will see what Paulo is now, what condition he is in. I don't know how focused he is on his career. Let's see if he opens the hunt for a new victim in the octagon, as good old Paulo did, ”Rockhold is quoted as saying by MMA News.
