Paulo Costa won’t instantly compete with sure top-ranked UFC middleweights.
Costa was taking note of the primary occasion of UFC Abu Dhabi between Reinier de Ridder and Robert Whittaker. The match saved a distance and De Ridar was awarded the division choice victory. “RDR” is at present within the prime 5 UFC middleweight divisions.
I am not impressed with De Ridder’s efficiency as Costa threw a slur in direction of the earlier two division one championship title holder on social media. “Borrachinha” additionally insisted that he would shut the lights from De Ridder.
It’s clear that Costa wished a combat, however “RDR” isn’t feeding. Talking to Inside Combating’s Mike Owens, De Ridder dismissed the potential of preventing Costa (by way of Mmajunkie) no less than for now.
“He is a humorous man. That is going to result in a pleasant press convention and nice build-ups, however I will not give af*ck what he says,” De Ridar stated. “You possibly can name me no matter you wish to name me. Name me homosexual on daily basis. I do not care. Possibly I will not combat at some point (we’ll combat). However at this level I do not assume he is on my degree. I do not assume he is on lots of good in his closing combat.
Costa just lately snapped two combat skids by defeating Rome’s Kopirov via an unanimous choice. It was a a lot wanted victory for “Boracinha” who went 1-4 on his earlier 5 outings earlier than the matchup. De Ridder may very well be an choice to win the middleweight title conflict between champions Doricus Duplesis and Kamza Chimaev, so Costa will hardly ever get the combat he is on the lookout for now.
