Paulo Costa: ‘Adesanya understands nothing about business’

UFC middleweight Paulo Costa thinks Israel Adesanya has made a bad decision taking a fight with Yoel Romero instead of waiting for ‘Borrachina’ to return from injury.

A bicep injury that Costa suffered back in October is predicted to sideline the Brazilian for eight months. However, that hasn’t stopped him from posting videos to his social media looking back in full fitness. Costa criticized Adesanya when talking to MMA Fighting for taking the fight with Romero.

“Poor guy,” Costa said “Adesanya understands nothing about business, pay-per-view sales, about money. He understands nothing. He has no idea that a fight with me would be bigger than any other, especially against Romero.
