Animosity between the two fighters

Between these two fighters a great runner, began after Costa beat Yoel Romero in the ufc 241 event, He was the first to say outrageous remarks , to receive the reply from adesanya with obscene signals after his victory over Whitaker with some insults, and continued to do so also after beating Yoel Romero in the 

ufc 248 event .

But for the time being adesanya is quite far from the squabbling, quite unlike Costa continues on his Instagram account in the constant mockery .

Fight of the Year

Many followers expect this to be the fight of the year, because of the strength and skill of the two fighters, where they have 25 victories between them, whether by knockout or technical knockout.

They both prefer fighting over standing, israel adesanya is basically a kickboxing player where he was by a fighter in GLORY Kickboxing, before joining the UFC.

paulo costa uses kicks, but he's more distinguished in boxing, combining the strength and agility of his hands.

And finally each has an advantage, adesanya changes his style by changing the opponent which makes him more flexible and we saw this in his last fight against Romero, but Costa is more solid but lacks a little flexibility where he fights in all his battles in the same style and plan .
