In a lot of ways, it feels like the UFC ‘got away with one’ coming out of this card. Heading into the event, the headliner was the only real selling point, and Paulo Costa’s last minute weight negotiations threw even that in doubt. However, whatever his pre-fight antics may have been, Costa showed up ready to compete and put on a thriller against Marvin Vettori in the main event. Most of the rest of the card was unmemorable in the extreme, but Alex Caceres and Seung Woo Choi had a heck of a scrap as well.
So, does beating a puffed up ‘Borrachinha’ do anything for the ‘Italian Dream’’s placement among the middleweight elite?
