Media Sean Strickland Torches Paulo Costa "Gonna Make That Dirty Brazilian Bleed - Gonna Do It For Brazil"

[Black9]

Anyone else excited for this fight?
5 Rounds.

Should be a barn burner in the press conference and in the fight

It should be a good fight -- I favor Strickland, though it benefits Costa not being a 5 round fight.

Let's hope Costa exercises his free speech and tells Strickland that he's going to remind him of daddy.

It's a five round co-main event, I'm very curious to see how Costa will look in the championship rounds at middleweight.
I think his only time he's been in the fourth and fifth rounds was against Vettori at LHW.

It is a 5 rounder.

Thanks for the correction. I get lost so easily these days with 3 and 5 round fights lol I thought it was only title fights and main events but I guess not.

All my homies hate Costa

I think Strickland wins a close decision. Or loses a close decision and cries robbery.


Kinda hoping for a double KO TBH.

Bleeding from ear Strickland vs. dehydrated Costa will definitely be a banger.

Sean should’ve gotten a title shot rematch

I feel like Costa's kicks will cause Sean some fits which will make the early/middle rounds closer, also never realized that Sean's only two KO losses in the UFC come from brazillian fighters(Pereira and Dos Santos)
Those two don't really have similar styles to Costa tho so it doesn't really matter that much, just a fun fact. I do feel like we'll see Costa try to recreate that wheel kick Dos Santos landed on him back at welterweight however.

He should just go to powerslap.

 

[chinarice]

I will pretty much root for anyone that fights Costa.

Hoping Sean beats his ass.

 

[SalvadorAllende]

Yeah. I'm pumped for that fight.

Good thing Paulo is being a little more active and Sean is back to fighting contenders

 

[D0GMeAT]

Costa sends Strickland back to the trailer park.

 

[TempleoftheDog]

If Costa can’t get him out of there within 10 minutes. Strickland just outpoints him via cardio.

Don’t need to wait for the weigh-ins for this.

Strickland by Decision.
