lol. This guy is literally trying to remain relevant any way possible. He might actually have a decent ranking, but that doesn’t equate to his actual skill, or the trajectory of his career right now, imo.
One fight ago he missed weight by 20 lbs, and got beat, ffs. So, he calls out a guy aiming for the WW belt right now (as Borz should be). No reply at all from Borz. So now he wants to fight the best, most proven MW fighter in mma not named Izzy?
Sorry guys. But, I’m not impressed. It’s funny how he goes from about the most maligned fighter in the space of two fights, to being a Sherdog darling again.. Just for beating 3 years out of competition Rockhold that turns 38 in a cpl weeks.
Whittaker has nothing at all to gain by whooping Costa’s ass. While ANY fight is a fight that you could actually lose. But, to accept a fight out of pride like that is the last thing a manager/agent should ever approve of.
Costa doesn’t deserve that fight. But if Whittaker accepts it. The odds shouldn’t even be close, imo. And with a gun to my head.. Whittaker wins easily.
