“He’s my b*tch” – Luke Rockhold and Israel Adesanya take turns roasting Paulo Costa after UFC 278 fight
Luke Rockhold and Paulo Costa (L), Israel Adesanya (R)
Luke Rockhold could not help but continue taking shots at his rival Paulo Costa even after they beat the living s*** out of each other in the co-main event of UFC 278. Israel Adesanya, being the troll he is, jumps in to take shots at the Brazilian.
Paulo Costa vs Luke Rockhold was undoubtedly one of the most brutal fights we have witnessed in the year 2022. Both the middleweights absolutely gave their all inside the octagon at UFC 278. Despite the loss, Luke was very proud of his performance and also showed everyone why he is an all-time great. A fight that was supposed to end terribly for the former champion ended up being a very close fight against the rising middleweight from Brazil.
Paulo and Luke put on a dog fight in the co-main event and actually made the PPV better. Up until the middleweight brawl, UFC 278 was pretty much a dull event. Luke and Costa went to deep waters and the fight was complete bloodshed. Luke surely wasn’t too happy with Paulo getting the unanimous decision victory so he had to take one last dig at his opponent just for good measure after the fight was over.
Israel Adesanya comments on Luke Rockhold’s Instagram post
Luke took to Instagram to continue his trash-talking. Luke was unusually fired up in the lead-up to this fight and absolutely went in on his Brazilian opponent. Not often do we see Luke going in on his rivals with a full uninterrupted flow. Luke was hurt several times during the fight but managed to show a ton of heart and fought till his wheels fell off. One of the best moments of the fight was when Luke was badly hurt and exhausted but managed to say “F**K YOU” and follow it with a brutal left hook.
Rockhold posted this clip on his Instagram with the caption, “You’re still a b**ch.” Israel Adesanya, who has a very intense rivalry with Costa, chimed into trolling the Brazilian. “He’ll always be my b**ch,” Adesanya added in the comments section. Paulo and Adesanya gave the fans some of the most entertaining moments in UFC history with their trash talk and the amazing fight.
Rockhold announced retirement after his fight against Costa and there couldn’t be a better way to retire from his professional career. Never change, Rockhold. Never change.
