Paulo Costa has accused Yoel Romero of being ‘dirty’ in their fight this past weekend at UFC 241.
Costa defeated Romero by unanimous decision at UFC 241 in the event’s Fight of the Night. The fight was closer than the verdict made it out to be, with Costa starting well and Romero finishing the fight strong. The second round was a big debating point.
Talking on The Ariel Helwani MMA Show, Costa detailed Romero’s ‘dirty’ tactics in the fight.
“He’s a nice guy, but he’s dirty. In the first round, when I make a hook in his face, he went down then got up very quickly, and I say man I will knock him out in the first round because he feel my punch, my first punch, and I started hunting him in the octagon.
