I won't believe this fight happens until that cage locks behind Costa 😂
He can still get injured between that and the referees final instructions but if that happens Rob should be given permission to ground and pound Costa's incapacitated body
I literally came to comment the same. I'm not believing Costa does not pull out till he is in the cage
He could still hop out the top of it until the bell rings 😂
All ik if he loses cut him if he pulls out cut him
I'm dead, he better make this fuckin super fight 🤩
Nobody works harder than UFC editors for a Paulo Costa fight
Hahaha so true 😂
lol 😂
It might seem somewhat true, but guys this dude was actually undefeated up until his first loss against Izzy
😂😂Costa and Colby
Costa has a chance to do the funniest thing possible. Run and hop over the fence as soon as round 1 begins lmao
I wouldn’t be surprised if he does lmao. Costa’s hilarious
And get injured will be hilarious 😂
2:42 that gyno though😂
It's alive!
Costa is fighting can’t believe it
It's almost surreal, isn't it?
Truly Unheard of
Don’t just yet
It's definitely happening this time
And will win
Hopefully this fight happens. Really enjoy Costa's fight style. Its like a gladiator thats relentless.
Me too hope he does not pull out
Costas English has come a LONG way
No kidding
He must have a lot of spare time cuz he hasn’t really been fighting much
Rob is more than just a elite fighter , he's a elite human .
He doesn't know what pulling out means!!!
From what I've seen. Great Guy. And definitely a problem to stand in front of. But do you think that there is a class above elite?
To bad he’s losing
Mike Bisping- "Powell Costa"
Going to this event this will be my first ever UFC event can’t wait traveling all the way from Chicago!!
Try not to drink too much the night before the fight this time Costa😂
Just secret juice
Paulo costa never lost in front of a crowd 💪🏾💯🔥
😂 Costa doesn't really leave his fans much to brag about 😅
@@tenacminotauro9541say another UFC fighter with a funnier Twitter account, I will wait...
Can't lose if you don't fight
I've never lost in front of a crowd either
COSTA vs Adesanya 😂😂
The fight we need!!
7 more days for Costa to think of another reason to pull out. that's a lot of time.
Both of them have pulled out the same amount of times, brother
What a fight 😮😮😮 , unbelievable power 💪💪
Lets's go Reaper.
Never cease to amaze me that head kicks from whittaker.
Costa is a great fighter,I always felt this way.
That Costa vs Rockhold fight was wild
I think I only think Costa is going to KO reaper sadly, hope I'm wrong. But it's fast cash for both.
He most certainly will
I am from Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦and I support Whittaker and my Aussie brothers 🇭🇲👊
They don't consider you brothers
@TheBorz838 I lived there 15 years. We are all from Adam, and Adam is from dust. Learn some Islamic wisdom and think before you speak 👍🏻.
@@raidhalawani6804 We are all from dust..... Then You have brothers in Brazil as well not just Australia Adam jr.
اخيييييي. أنا من استراليا كمان ، أصلي لبناني. ربنا يحفظ المملكة
Hello Raid. Nothing personal here but it's hard to support equally when I know you won't listen to my wife with the same consideration as if I was talking (even tho she can be very wrong haha).
Everybody knows the reason why SA and Qatar have their event. Some women use to wear dresses in Iran just fine not so long ago and some governments lead people backwards I think.
Nothing personal mister, with all due respect
Secret Juice
I love these countdowns
Have a blessed night 🌙
I've got PC on this one. 💯
Paolo is so fucking inactive that they have to use highlights from the Reebok era
Just like McNugget
@@Malcolm-rn2slMcNugget fought post Reebok
These are the types of fights I don't want any of them to lose, not volka, not Ilia, not Paulo, not Rob 😖😖😖
The hype is reaaal
Always rooting for reaper!
May the best fighter wins, I like all these fighters
Robbie whitts getting kod
Lol not Ilia, I hope Volk folds him
I kinda want Costas to win by a brutal chin KO cuz he is an entertaining bull! Rob is a legend but not so fun
He’s most likely going to flatline Rob
@user-vi9zm5ss4fI think inactivity Is hurting Rob more than anything. Before dricus he fought Marvin and Izzy prior to that he went on a very insane run spreading across the till, Jared and kelvin fights. Most of his wars were with Izzy, Yoel basically
Nice intro. The great knockout artist at pulling out of fights.
Legend has it that Costa got his nickname “The Eraser” because his name was constantly being erased from the UFC fight cards due to him pulling out of every fight he was expected to take part in.
Rofllll w comment
Good one bro 🤣
Costa destroy whoever in his way u must be casual fan
@@dagothodros641 oh yeah he totally destroyed izzy did he? Izzy took him to school, he got beat by Marvin Vetorri. He then couldn’t finish a gassed out, washed up Luke Rockhold…. And you’re calling me a casual fan? Behave yourself. Silly Billy
@@LP92LEO he had an illness for Izzy. Borravhina will destroy lady boy Izzy with a healthy camp 💥
This is going to be such a banger.
If it's early, it's Costa. Late game, it's whitt. Saw it first here.
So either Costa wins or Whittaker wins. Gotcha 👍
@@janos14 yeah both of em are winners , ideologically.
Costa undefeated in front of a crowd
We ain’t getting excited for this fight until the tale of the tape 😂
Man I like Paulo too but somehow I think we will see a masterclass from Whittaker.
I’m thinking the same thing bro I think Robert hurts costa ! But costa a fan fav so it’s gonna be a good one no matter what
I like Costa I hope he shows up and I hope he wins but I hate the narrative that the ufc puts out calling Paulo this massive power puncher he has never koed someone with one punch
Kudos to Paulo for such improved English! I can understand him 🏆
I like Paulo but they're like a "KO artist"... he hasn't had a TKO since 2020 lmao.
has Costa signed the contract? please get chimaev as backup fighter for this co-main
Yh he signed
The fight will happen because the ufc will cut costa from the organisation if he pulls out again
5 days away and no cancelation. I am starting to believe this fight might actually happen.
Just don’t. Save your tears for another day😢
Still 120 hours for him to come up with something.
Since when is Paulo a ko artist?
Pull out artist they meant
@@mikeoxlong1434😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I am so happy Robert is growing his family despite his busy schedule lol....I love the fact that he said once it is gone it is gone ❤❤❤❤
Biggest fight on the card❤
Rob’s building an army lol!
Paulo puts up good shows and has all these haters. It's sad. I'm pulling for him, he's entertaining.
100% , ALL Costa fights were bangers W or L. Just disrespectful tbh
I am rooting for Paulo Costa and Iliya Topuria
What's the line on Costa vs pullout?
i won’t believe this fight is happening until i see a ref physically start the fight
Pra cima, paulo! Oss
Let’s hope Costa makes it to the fight 😅
let's bet when costa will pull out 😁
im a big fan of costa. i think he wins this fight. IF IT HAPPENS....
Did he pull out already?
Adesanya KO'd both Costa and Rob in R2. The Legend of Adesanya.
Izzy's sons
Strickland grandfather
Strickland surrou o chinês
Kkkkkk
Oh, you mean, Doggysanya?
Ain’t no way they just put this together for a costa fight this far out. These poor hard working souls
Costa isnt fighting Whitaker. He pulls out more than i do 😂
Team Bobby Knuckles
1:47 he beat the guy that destroyed Dricus
We all knew this fight wasn't happening even before the beginning of it all.
COSTA CALOU A BOCA DE MUITOS 😂😂😂😂🇧🇷
At least Costa and Whittaker have one thing in common. They both lost to Adesanya
Chimaev next!!!
lesssh go Bobby Knuckles!
Hey Rhonda Rowsy did you hear that ? … “if you dont know how to lose , then you dont deserve to win” well stated Aussie
Costa is gonna fight. He needs money
ROBERT WHITTAKER BEAT PAULO COSTA PLEASE🙏🏻
Paulo will in this fight in spectacular fashion
Who you got
I got costa by TKO
Thank goodness USADA not there no more. Costa won’t miss a fight ever again
costa spit bucket aka secret juice will need some protein powder for this one
He’ll spit into protein powder???
Paolo "Pull out" Costa
C'mon costo let's go do it bro
Paulo Costa let go
Costa will pull out
If costa has to pull out again i could easily see him being released
I hope Bobby Knuckles puts on a clinic.
Lots of things can happen from here until 02/17/24
Do yall know how bad ass this fight is🔥🔥🔥🔥
Wish you all the very best ROB take no prisoners from Ballarat Victoria.
More excited to this UFC than the 300
Costa is a fkn legend, has more pull outs than losses
That’s why he’s the best he’ll win this weekend hopefully
whittaker fougt every one UFC throws to him unlike other contenders
the costa hate is crazy lmao
its crazy costa is still not wrestling all these jujutsu fighters that don't learn takedowns
He’s like a Micheal Chandler he has the skills but he mainly relies on his striking
To me the gameplan for Costa because he's considered the underdog in this one, it would be to press forward a lot in a an intelligent way, he has to crowd him as much as possible dont give Whittaker too much time and space because he's technically very good.
Overall if I'm going to bet and I feel this is a tough to choose, I will say Whittaker.
I love Whittaker but after seeing what Dricus did to him his last fight I’m not confident that his chin will be able to take Paulo shots
I just wanna know who is the back up fighter
Sure hope Costa shows up. He loves to pull out of fights.
"Fight for the ages" - Costa v Rockhold? The UFC marketing is so out of touch with reality. What I saw was two of the sloppiest, most pathetic incapable guys on the roster who were way past their prime, unable to string anything together and result to slobbering and bleeding on eachother, mocking the sport and purpose of being an expert at your trade.
Harsh but fair
disagree. It was low level but not because their spinning kicks were sloppy. It’s just they gassed and didnt press action for large chunks of the fight
a bit harsh here, when the reality is they both could KO you in 2 seconds
I can see this fight being a draw because both are dogs . Fan of both . Hope for a good fight either way .
Yeeeeh Whittaker
Poor johnny Hendricks man😂ufc did him dirty this fight,dude looked like an toddler next to costa
Rob is going to fight a younger version of Yoel Romero.
If Costa pulls out then it's Robert Whittakers personal problem..
the people's main event
Is this A number 1 Contender fight ???
Paulo Costa 3:55 round 1
Why mentioning adesanya. So biesed lol
…what are you crying about
PAOLO COSTA FIGHT WEEK
man if costa land that head kick on bobby
I like that bit at the end. Too fast too strong too accurate. DANG!!!
Costa has had more cancelled fights in the ufc than he has had knockouts
Costa is not pulling out,you know why cuz NO MORE USADA BABY
Hope his brother makes sure he doesn’t pull out!!
