Im agree with this. Costa give his effort to learn english and thats cool..

[@TCUSB]

I feel like this generation of international fighters really understand the importance of learning English if they want to give themselves a springboard to superstar status. Skill/talent can take you far af, but sometimes they need that extra little push to really make a stance in their division. Best example I can think of right now is Weili Zhang, she's improved her English in a really short period of time and is now is one of the largest names in the women's divisions. Ofc, her performance against JJ helped tremendously but the interviews and the "shut up" in broken English during the face off definitely helped her in the eyes of the fans.

Both guys have amazing chemistry. Izzy always lets Costa talk and gets his words off (a lot of guys wouldn’t have the patients and/or mindset to do that) And costa is a chilled funny guy lol.
