With the relocate to light heavyweight now on hold, Ismail stated Costas group intend on asking for an immediate rematch with “The Last Stylebender” or book him against a top-contender on the exact same night of Adesanyas next title defense.
Costas video game strategy was to keep back during the first couple of rounds and letting loose in the final three, Ismail said, however wasnt the right contact the end.
According to Ismail, Adesanyas “ill-mannered” shenanigans got Costa fired up.
Costa was visited Adesanya in the second round of Saturday nights title bout in Abu Dhabi, suffering his very first loss as an expert MMA fighter, and Ismail informed MMA Fighting on Monday that Adesanya “riding” Costa after the interruption encouraged the Brazilian to delay his 205-pound launching in order to get vengeance.
” Adesanya is his focus,” Ismail stated. “He was thinking about moving up in weight however wont anymore because he desires to get Adesanya, and the UFC owes him that.” All benefits to Adesanya for landing the kick, however Borrachinha was too passive and the technique was wrong,” Ismail stated. He said Adesanya will pay for what hes done. That disrespect, he stated Adesanya will pay for that.”
” Hes mad. Hes very upset,” he said of Costa. “You can lose, but lose in a war, moving forward, all or nothing. Thats what upsets him. And what pissed him off the most was Adesanyas disrespect. Hes mad at him. He said Adesanya will spend for what hes done. Due to the fact that he had not seen that yet, he spoke with Adesanya (after the fight). That disrespect, he said Adesanya will pay for that.”
Ismail offers Adesanya all the credit for the success and admits they had the incorrect strategy for the match, however says “it wasnt Borrachinha that night.” Costa broke his silence on the loss on Monday, saying “just we know what occurred.” Ismail stated the Brazilian did not sleep the night before UFC 253 due to the time zone distinction, “but we cant utilize that as a reason.”
” All merits to Adesanya for landing the kick, but Borrachinha was too passive and the method was incorrect,” Ismail said. “We need to have changed (the technique) after the very first kicks landed and went to war.
” Adesanya is his focus,” Ismail stated. “He was considering going up in weight but will not any longer because he wants to get Adesanya, and the UFC owes him that. He will stay [at 185] only to get Adesanya since hes truly upset, annoyed with Adesanyas post-fight attitude. Hes a bum. Warriors battle and when its over, its over. Doing that after the fight? Hes a bottom, and he can anticipate a headache coming at him.”
Paulo Costas longtime manager Wallid Ismail exposes that “Borrachinha” was intending on going up to light heavyweight after taking the middleweight title away from Israel Adesanya at UFC 253, but everything changed after “The Last Stylebenders” post-fight shenanigans.
” You cant do that,” Ismail stated. ” Borrachinha is mad. It was revolting, (Adesanya) revealed his lack of character. 2 warriors settle their problems in the battle, but hes a bum. Thats the worst thing he might have done. (Costa) is pure anger today.”
