GDT: UFC Fight Night: Costa vs. Vettori

[Taytro]

Bad advice from Costas corner to say he could be winning or tied. I think he's clearly losing.

He is actually going for it though in the 5th. Gas tank holding up better than I thought it would.

Feel like Vettori just surviving this round

Vettori won imo.

 

[Taytro]

48-46 Vettori is my guess.

Vettori disappointed he couldn't finish him, but clearly won on the cards. Just a matter of how close.

 

[Chaels Arms]

These sound drops are just absurd

48-46 Vettori is my guess.

Good guess!

Right on the money!

Right in the middle of the interview. I feel like there's gotta be a better way if this is censorship.

Yeah it's annoying

 

[member 51464]

lol, well I definitely heard him say that favored Aussie cuss word that rhymes with punt....

Hard to say how much of that was Vettori and how much was Costa but regardless, Vettori was sharp up until the 5th round. His hands looked good throughout and he mixed things up really well with the combinations and body shots.

I don't really know what they do next with Vettori because he's not getting Adesanya anytime soon (or ever) but he'll be in some good fights at the top of the division. Today was a good showing for him.

Dana confirms during the press conference Costa will have to move to LHW. Maybe Anthony Smith? If Brunson/Cannonier winner gets the next title shot after Whittaker, maybe Vettori gets Whittaker or the loser

 

[Chaels Arms]

After watching that fight I now feel pretty confident Costa and his team planned to come in heavy the entire time. The gas tank commentary by Felder and Bisping I felt was overdone due to the narrative coming into this fight, Costa looked like he had a lot left in the 4th and 5th. This was likely his audition for a full time move to light heavyweight and he got to do it against a middleweight.

Vettori is a tough SOB. I don't think anyone at middleweight is ever going to knock him out. I don't know if I've ever seen anyone eat that many massive body kicks and maintain their composure like he did.

Costa's excuse for missing weight is a bicep injury? Lmao

 

[CDJ]

Happy for Marvin to overcome such a douchebag appointment

edit: opponent. Can you tell my college roommate got married?Never drink and type

 

[Chaels Arms]

Dana said Marvin fought at 208 and Costa at 220.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

I legit laughed when he said that... Then two mins later he went on about how miserable he is when he has to cut weight for a fight he hates eating salad. He's full of it.

Dana said Marvin fought at 208 and Costa at 220.

Costa said in his press conference he really weighed 102 kilos which is like 225 l

So a guy who hates weight cutting planned on cutting 40lbs in fight week? Something ain't right there.

Costa looked absolutely massive, like he actually gained weight for this fight. I'm looking forward to seeing him get picked apart by some of the taller/longer technical 205ers.

Marvin and Caceres with the performance bonuses

Iron Turtle vs Rodrigues got fight of the night

I've never seen more heavy body kicks landed in a fight than what Costa did to Vettori...

But did anyone notice that Vettori's body didn't have signs of trauma? I didn't see any red marks or bruises on the side of his torso in that final round...

Usually the commentators will mention it when a fighter's body or legs are showing signs of damage, but not a word about it during that fight... that's because there were no signs of damage

How is that possible?

Some guys bruise easier than others.

Watching some fights at the airport right now- Herzog is the best official in the biz rn

Ended up being a solid fight. Costa deserves every bit of criticism that he has received for the weight stuff, but he came to fight. Might have saved face a little bit with the boss man because of it, but glad Dana said he's going to force him to fight at LHW. I could see Costa causing a stink about that, though, so he might sit out for a while.

Good performance for Vettori period, but especially with the weight stuff. Dude is good, tough as hell, and still young. I still think he's lacking physically, but he's a tough out for anyone in the division not named Izzy and IMO Whittaker. He'll need for stuff to break right, but I could definitely see a Jan-like run to the title in his future (i.e. Izzy leaves the division one way or another like Jones).
