Costa talked about his preparations for the fight and appeared confident about his victory. He said, “I just need one shot to finish the fight. I won’t shake Israel Adesanya’s hands after KO” 

The Brazillian also analyzed Adesanya’s last fight against the Romero. He claimed that it was a boring fight and he has learned a lot from that.

About what he learnt, he said, ““I know he can run a lot, that’s what he wants to do, but I will not just wait like Romero did. I will go to hunt him inside the cage and close the distance and put my shots on his body and his face.”

Both the fighters share a lot of rivalry with each other and both are undefeated and at their prime. It’s evident now that one of the two will have to step down when they clash inside the Octagon.
