Paulo Costa has discredited Israel Adesanya’s status as the UFC middleweight champion and vowed to ‘kill him’ when they fight on September 26th.
Adesanya and Costa will meet in the main event of UFC 253 next month. The two undefeated middleweights have been going back and forth for months, with Adesanya recently suggesting Costa has used PED’s, labeling him the “perfect antagonist”.
In an interview with Submission Radio, Costa mocked Adesanya’s performance in his last fight against Yoel Romero at UFC 248 in February.
“I have just one question, Adesanya,” Costa said.
