Paulo Costa is one dangerous middleweight.
Earlier tonight (July 7), Costa took on Uriah Hall on the featured bout of the FOX Sports 1 portion of the UFC 226 prelims. The bout was a back-and-forth war. In the second round, Costa’s offense proved to be too much for Hall.
“Primetime” surprisingly scored a takedown in the second stanza, but he couldn’t hold Costa down. Soon, the Brazilian utilized the body shots to drop Hall and finish the fight.
