Paulo Costa Vows To ‘Bring Back The Old Paulo,’ Wants Khamzat Chimaev Next | The MMA Hour

[@BGSSCBGSSC]

He needs better corner advice

[@Randomthoughts54-r3n]

Yup. His corner should be telling him to stop backing up and move forward let your hands go but instead they say "gOoD jOb pAuLo" as he is clearly losing and behind

[@Jemreaux]

I’ve been saying this. He just needs to get one of the top teams already he’s been fighting on talent his whole career

[@IsenathiDyantyi]

🤣😭

[@jvm-tv]

He needs a new coaching team.

[@alpe6228]

he needs to leave that trash camp.

[@jasonred3874]

Bring Back The Old Paulo, if you're talking the Paulo that fought Romero, you will be unstoppable

[@taha3299]

I don't think so. The game evolved since then.

[@googleaccount065]

He care more about his surgerys

[@lucatoni98]

Homero is super overrated. He's the statue of god for a reason

[@and_new.sir.]

dude that was 5 years ago, Romero was 42 already and it was a very close 3 round fight that could easily be scored for Romero. I don't know if people can't accept that Costa is not elite or are too dumb to fall for his self-promoting yapping

[@Jemreaux]

It’s not going to happen bro is much richer/less hungry and also scared to get hit now after the Izzy fight

[@jigs8967]

Look at my boy Costa's English, I wish my other favorites like Oliveira and Poatan were as polished must be the Secret Juice loll

[@Abigail_Nikolaeva]

like Islam said "finally a Brazilian that speaks english" 😆

[@Nickstamos32]

Bro Olivera and Poatan are practicing fighting rather than English

[@cisquierdo]

Paulo's english is better than mine now. Brother just invented a new word aggressivity

[@teepssenju3411]

Aggreesivity - Doing things with aggressive activity

[@cisquierdo]

@@teepssenju3411 just stop bro

[@RoamingwithStu]

"Aggressivity" is an official word. It refers to the tendency to be aggressive or the quality of being aggressive. It's often used in psychological or clinical contexts to describe aggressive behavior or traits. While "aggressiveness" is more commonly used, "aggressivity" is also correct and is found in professional and academic literature.

[@cisquierdo]

@RoamingwithStu there's always some loser huh Like you think paulo knew it was a word? I know I didn't, know you didn't. You just looked it up. get a life!

[@NotyouXD-x5u]

​@@cisquierdo Agressivity is a real offical word. Paulos english is good.

[@hdewijkagent6977]

Paulo has crazy talent and skills he should join Alex and glover teixeira there team

[@somdutroy]

Costa seems to the best at failing forward. He barely ever wins and still keeps on getting great opportunities. Now even while being 0-4 against current UFC roster, he will probably get Khamzat or Jared next.

[@G768-9]

Probably because he hasn't lost in a terrible way & there's still potential for him to change his fighting style

[@somdutroy]

​@@G768-9Yeah, I get why. I am not even mad at it. Just surprising how he still retained his relevance despite not having any relevant win since the Romero fight.

[@herbert-taylor]

They’re giving him the Ortega treatment where they keep him in the rankings until he gets a win so they can keep making big fights. The rankings are a sham.

[@G768-9]

@somdutroy must be the twitter memes he's always posting 😂😂

[@dano1307]

are you mad at it though? It always competitive and Costa is fun to watch fight. I hope he goes back to his old style but easier said than done.

[@whosZixi]

Paulo is such a kindhearted guy

[@ttocs0000]

If this fight gets booked, odds -1000 someone pulls out or misses weight 😅

[@hatrickyman]

There's no chance they'll book Khamzat v Costa again for that reason.

[@ttocs0000]

@@hatrickyman Yeah I don't think so either. And if they did they for sure wouldn't risk it as a main event lol

[@theguvnor3880]

Costa vs Jared would be a great fight.

[@tdsetffr7350]

Costa doesn’t deserve it tf give him robocop

[@tdsetffr7350]

Jared canonier is number 5 ranked and costa has won one fight in the last 5 years

[@Viking4real]

Usually when there's a bad stoppage like that between two high profile fighters the ufc likes to make immediate rematches, it's much better for everyone. Costa also should fight someone like Joe Pyfer or Abdul Razak next, not a high ranked guy.

[@IsenathiDyantyi]

Old Paulo should've been back by now he needs better coaching and that's it he has all the tools he just gotta put it all together

[@chadmcclain3462]

Yeh but he's is fighting killers

[@googleaccount065]

Old paulo doesnt fall for plastic surgeries. He care fights and training while this paulo only care about his plastic surgeries

[@gunnar4554]

He doesn’t have all the tools he lacks range. Short limbed inside fighter with flash big kicks at range.

[@titomoura7014]

He was being coached by the Pitbull brothers against Robert Whittaker. I don't know why he didn't train with them again.

[@seethemore6360]

I think why Paulo was so successful before was because he would just pressure his opponents and overwhelm them with strikes for a TKO victory. Now he prefers to stand toe to toe and trade with his opponents. This puts him at a disadvantage because despite being very large for middleweight he has a very short reach, so his opponent can hit him where Paulo cannot hit back. Also, trading works well if you can avoid your opponents attacks, but Paulo gets hit a lot, and when he does hit, he’s not a one punch KO guy, so even through his technique is great (those left head kicks when he fought Whittaker), he doesn’t have the power to KO someone with one punch. He should go back to his pressuring style, just forward movement, aggressive offense, corner them against the cage and just unload with vicious combos.

[@IsenathiDyantyi]

agree but is not that he did have a choice to Strickland in that 302 matchup Strickland show Him levels the Judge did give Costa the 4-1 victory must stop smoking 🚬

[@Randomthoughts54-r3n]

He doesn't even trade. He back pedals on 5th gear the whole time. He is super gun shy now

[@wesleymorris5671]

Costa is like a Kevin Holland type. We don’t care if he wins or loses. We just wanna see him in there 👏

[@abrahamhagos7714]

Izzy took his confidence. He's never been the same since.

[@Aint_Got_The_Answers_Sway]

Paulo should train with DDP

[@GhostC01MMA]

paulo should retire find a new career path he cant beat any of these top contenders he wants chimaev now because he knows chimaev is weak almost dying from a illness in hospital atm

[@IsenathiDyantyi]

​@@GhostC01MMAagree if im Him would be happy because if Khamzat did fight Him in October last year I promise Chimaev would've kill Him

[@jamiefletcher5201]

Not many fighters seem as happy, wholesome, and genuine as Paulo

[@Luke.1779]

Izzy, strickland and whittaker are all such brutal opponents to vs. theyre all pretty weird and so technical. must be super hard to train for them

[@jrgonzalez741]

I STILL WANT TO SEE COSTA VS KHAMZAT PERIOD!!!!!!

[@IsenathiDyantyi]

Costa doesn't deserve it rightnow

[@lewisperkins9613]

I’ll die on the hill of always backing Costa! Hope to see him champ one day

[@Jbergrion]

Paulo is hilarious I will watch him win or lose. Hope he gets back to the old Paulo in the cage though

[@outdoorsofeden]

Adesanya was a unique matchup that conflicted with Paulos style. Since then he has seemingly changed it to a more refined and point fighting approach. Whittaker and Sean were great opponents, but I think the heavy pressure and high volume style will work against most middleweights, and it is what is most natural for him.

[@stocktoncalifornia4136]

The Costa that met Romero in the middle of the octagon would have at least caught a couple more bodies 😵

[@IsenathiDyantyi]

next!! Costa 🇧🇷 vs 🇺🇲 Hermeson

[@SuperJcoleFan]

bolo punches, and head kicks we miss that too Costa

“Bring back the old Costa” is the new “I am gonna let my hands go next time” from Woodley

[@dannyboyfit]

Paulo v Strickland was completely different against whittaker that fight was close Strickland fight was boring but I get it Strickland makes it hard but Costa was on the back foot the whole fight if he went forward it coulda been a classic

[@jordansaenz3]

I’m a big fan of Paulo. In my opinion he changed after the Izzy trash talk and knockout. It’s good to see him acknowledge this change, but I wish he would admit what caused the change. His best gift is his aggressiveness though. He has to make them respect him.

[@eddiemango]

A Costa vs Khamzat card would be a ticking time bomb of who will pull out or miss weight

[@Randomthoughts54-r3n]

This dude says this after every loss then he fights exactly the same where he jabs, jabs, backs up and lets his opponent t off on him. He has not been the same since he got his ass kicked by Izzy. Old Paulo was aggressive and moved forward with big strong punches. Now he gasses after the first round and just backs up the whole time

[@ColbyCaron-yz4jv]

chimaev paulo is a great fight considering both of their standings atm

[@hiren8325]

The fact that Costa still has zero wins over any ranked UFC figher is insane. He is one of the biggest names in the sport and I can't name a single active fighter that he has beat.

[@hatorihanzo8435]

Sean is just a terrible match for anyone he says he's going to make a war and talks a big arrogant game then does nothing but taps his opponents with awkward 1 - 2 and push teeps. Weirdo Sean complains that people can't stand an trade yet he keeps bringing his knee march and push kicks instead of standing and trading for a war. Alex showed everyone how to handle him just walk him into a good ko Or push him back same style and then bully him. Not sure why Costa didn't take him down to slow his awkward pressure

[@11BCampbell11]

[@WhiteEagle74]

Costa needs to work with a good sports psychologist, train with the best like Alex Pereira to improve his striking and work with Glover to on his jiu-jitsu.
