Israel Adesanya says Paulo Costa has a choice to make if he ever wants to rematch for the UFC middleweight title. Following the UFC middleweight champion’s second-round TKO of Costa (13-1 MMA, 5-1 UFC) in a highly anticipated and heated grudge match at UFC 253 in September, “Borrachinha” has made his desire for a rematch very clear , hinting that he was held back by an undisclosed issue in the lopsided loss. Moreover, Costa is furious with Adesanya (20-0 MMA, 9-0 UFC) for his post-fight antics, which included a controversial dry-humping motion after the stoppage, an argument with the challenger’s corner and a whole lot of social media daggers. Adesanya said he doesn’t rule out fighting Costa again in the future, but explained there’s only one way the Brazilian can get there.
