Matches to Make After UFC278 via LevPisarsky
Costa may have won, but it was anything but impressive. Rockhold was so thoroughly tired that he bent over like a basketball player, his hands on his knees and head forward, yet Costa was too tired to ever kick or uppercut him in the face. In fact, it was actually Rockhold who was consistently landing hard, damaging shots throughout Rounds 2 and 3, as exhausted as he was.
Costa needs to change something, because his increasing lack of cardio and slow movement is now going to be exploited ruthlessly by top middleweight contenders. So instead of killing himself to make 185 pounds, why not move up to 205 permanently? It might give his career fresh life, and a fine first fight would be against Craig, a tricky and determined foe. It would be a classic striker vs. grappler battle where a finish could come at any time for either man.
