They said what?! Pros react to Paulo Costa’s wild brawl with Yoel Romero at UFC 241

Just as expected, the long awaited battle between Yoel Romero and Paulo Costa delivered everything fans wanted and some more. After three back-and-forth rounds, it was ‘Borrachinha’ who emerged victorious at UFC 241, though, with an unanimous decision in Anaheim, California. On Twitter, however, pro fighters praised both men.

Smart takedown at the end by Romero, Costa is fading...I think he could finish him this round.
