I thought he had a chance too but now I’m convinced he’s a mid tier lightweight. The UFC knew about him more than we did. He won’t ever be champion. He’s def a champion of a guy, husband and father. But as a fighter - nope.

Who doesn't like a lamb chop? One more reason to be a fan of Benny... Funny how literally everyone is writing off Costa... if his head is right this might be the end of the Hkazmat hype train. Of course, I wouldn't bet that Paulo has got his issues sorted. Izzy sent his soul to the shadow realm and I feel like it's gonna take some more doing to coax it back into Paulo's body. Feels like being totally discounted might just help him out though, because it feels like Paulo is the type to take that disrespect personally and use it to fuel the fire

[@handsomefatboy]

I love that Gathje and Dariush are still proving that they belong in the top 5 by fighting all these up and coming fighters. I still can’t see how Michael Chandler is keeping his spot at number 5 all this time? He didn’t earn it the way Dariush, Do Bronx, Poirier and Gaethje did, especially the way he’s holding that ranked position.

[@Nameplease12blacknobility]

I agree, except Justin only fought one up and comer and was after he wouldn’t do it for like 5 fights in a row demanding title shot after being finished the previous or 2 fights ago lol Dustin, Justin and chandler are jokes by not fighting up and comers more often after getting finished, multiple times

[@handsomefatboy]

@@Nameplease12blacknobility be that as it may that still shouldn’t be deviating from Michael Chandler’s position. At least Gaethje fought a dangerous up and comer like Fiziev and also earned his way up the UFC rankings before he lost to khabib and Do Bronx and at least Dustin earned his way up before he decided to hide away up in the top rankings, but what did Chandler do again??? He didn’t fight his way to the top of the ufc rankings, he piggy backed from Rogan hype and used his Bellator (were ufc fighters go after they can’t make it) resume to get there. If Garthje and Dustin are a joke I guess Chandler is way worse and the ufc is trying to use his rank spot to “hopefully” get Conor back in the rankings IF he beats him (or if they even have their sorry ass fight).

I love Beneil but i MAJORLY disagree with his take on Khamzat being bigger than Costa and being the better striker. We can’t forget how Costa looks when he’s not cutting weight and how big he is, & as far as the striking? Costa is definitely the better technical striker than Khamzat.

[@angelopueyygarcia43]

Khamzat 1st round with an Askren back fist of doom

[@Priestwhitelotus]

My man, take it from someone who lived right down the street from the PI and sees these guys. Khamzat is bigger than Paulo, not as muscular but definitely bigger bodied. Khamzat is the same size as Forrest Griffin. Dude is bigger than you think. Paulo couldn't ko Rockhold, dude hasn't knocked anyone out in like 5 years. Khamzat is too fast for him. I don't think Paulo lasts 2 rounds.

[@toocool986]

@@Priestwhitelotus clearly you’re smoking something special. Khamzat is only “bigger” than Costa in height, Costa is stronger and bigger than him in every other aspect. Costa should be a light heavyweight where as Khamzat competed in welterweight…💀Do u have any kinda proof of u seeing “these guys”? Or are you just spitballing to fit your narrative? If you’re gonna go with “Paulo couldn’t Ko Rockhold” as your defense to why Khamzat is the better striker than just stop talking to me. Are u forgetting Costa dropped Yoel Romero of all people? Gilbert Burns who was a LW dropped Khamzat, what do you think Costa would do? 😭

It’s interesting that he said Sean isn’t as good with hooks as he is at defending straight punches.
