Talking about his performance against Costa in the post-fight press conference, Vettori says, “Feels great man, I wanted to finish the fight like I was saying before but uh now it was a very solid performance and my boxing was superior like I said I had a lot of advantages, his kicks were they were they were strong they were definitely strong, they were wearing on my forearms but overall the boxing was a no- brainer.”
“No man it was a very solid performance I mean and I’m glad I didn’t let go all the attention before the fight thinking that he’s not ready, He didn’t train he came in fat like he’s not taking this seriously because he actually did and you know it was a trap a little bit I think or I mean he was willing to scratch the fight that’s for sure but he was ready also.”
