[@Ar1AnX1x]

it was insane how Marvin ate those body kicks and Costa with size advantage kicks like a horse but Vettori should really improve his striking instead of relying on toughness, it was surprising how he didn't use that Orthodox-Southpaw bodyshot advantage that Costa was using, or at least try to block those better.

[@brandonovich6063]

His defense was quite solid. It's easy from sidelines to talk about strategy, especially hard for him when his body was ruined from r1 because of kicks.

[@nikeguy2]

He doesn’t train to kick, you can see it. He kicks in training but you can tell he doesn’t drill kicks into his combinations. Even throwing a low kick instead of the body kick would’ve kept Costa off balance to be jabbed. That’s how Uriah Hall broke Costa, Uriah just doesn’t have Marvin’s chin and couldn’t keep it up.

[@brandonluther80]

How can they say Costa redeemed himself? He came to Vegas having trained to fight at 215 or something like that while Vettori trained for 190 and Costa was building up while Vettori had to lose to get there. It's close to criminal. The only place costa excelled was where he used that extra weight. Everyone's leg kick looks devastating when we outweigh our victims by 30-40. The eyepoke was intentional too. Go watch the replay. Costa could do 185-205 and possibly win at heavyweight at Bellator. Damn.

[@clutch7548]

You dont need a victim to see that Costa’s kicks are devastating. Heavy weights dont want to take them

[@welshdober]

Costa is a piece of shit, no doubt! But Dana said it was like 12bs difference when they got in the cage, which Definitely makes a difference the way that Costa did it, by planning to fuck vettori over from the start but I’m just saying the weight was a little closer, I’m happy vettori won that fight, I thought costa was going to win… I hate that weirdo!

To that end, it's a great decision by Dana to bind Costa to 205. If the guy wants to fight at LHW, then he should be fighting legitimate LHWs, not oversized MWs.

[@romxxii]

Paula's kicks looked slow and clumsy because Izzy started wailing on those shins the moment the fight started. That, and the moments that his kicks do land, Izzy catches it and then starts throwing lefts and rights at him. Had Marvin done the same -- leg kicks to keep Costa off rhythm, catch the body kicks and punish with combos -- Marvin might have gotten a stoppage by round 3, not hoping to hell the bell rings by round 5.
