Outside of the actual training and preparation for his upcoming fight with Israel Adesanya, a major focus for Paulo Costa’s fight camp appears to be trying to stay inside the champion’s head. Whether it’s bringing in a tall, skinny sparring partner to chase around the Octagon, or getting the same sparring partner to dye his hair like Adesanya and take on the nickname “Soul Glo,” or most recently keep up the narrative that Costa has gone un-tested by USADA, Costa’s media presence hasn’t shied away from being confrontational.
To that end, Costa’s latest video blog is mostly just focused on a fairly average series of hard training sessions.
