Israel Adesanya and Paulo Costa Put Undefeated Streaks on the Line at UFC 253

All eyes return to “Fight Island” in Abu Dhabi this Saturday for UFC 253. The success of the card is entirely dependent on its co-main event, an exciting prospect with Dominick Reyes matched up against Jan Blachowicz to decide the new light heavyweight champion, as well as a potential classic pitting middleweight champion Israel Adesanya against Paulo Costa.

Both Adesanya and Costa are undefeated, which will no longer be the case by Sunday morning. These are two of the most elite fighters in the world, regardless of weight division, and this is one of the biggest possible fights the UFC can currently offer among its marquee talent.
