"The Last Stylebender" expressed interest in taking on the winner of Uriah Hall versus Costa a month before being slated to take his third Octagon trip against Brad Tavares in his first main event bout. Adesanya, 2-0 in the UFC at the time, was scheduled to headline "TUF 27" finale on July 6, 2018 in Las Vegas. Costa, 3-0 in the UFC, would be takin...
Two days before Costa's fight against Hall, the media asked the Brazilian prospect if he was interested in a match against Adesanya if they both won that weekend. Costa seemed to have his sights set on a highly ranked opponent, and Adesanya didn't make the cut - Costadidn't even appear toknow Adesanya. "I don't know who is him," Costa told MMA Figh...
After dismantling Tavares over five rounds in a breakthrough performance, and after Costa finished Hall in the second round the following night, Adesanya reiterated he wanted to face the Brazilian. "It wasn't spectacular," Adesanya said of Costa's performance in an interview with ESPN's Brett Okamoto. "I want him next. "I saw what he did, and I'm l...
Costa knocked out Hall on July 7, 2018, and picked up the biggest win of his career. After the contest, the media again asked Costa about a potential bout with Adesanya. The rising star lopsidedly beat Tavares the night before, but "The Eraser" remained uninterested and quickly dismissed the possibility of a fight. "I don't know who is him," Costa ...
Adesanya and Costa allegedly had a backstage interaction - or lack thereof - at UFC 226. But you'll probably get a different story of what happened depending on who you ask. Adesanya recounted that he and Costa showed up to do backstage interviews with Okamoto after Costa beat Hall around the same time. Adesanya claimed he stared at Costa while doi...
The media asked UFC president Dana White about the possibility of a Costa-Adesanya pairing at the UFC 226 postfight press conference. White seemed to like the sound of it - or at least that Adesanya was confident enough to want to face a dangerous foe like Costa - but said there wasn't much of a chance the two rising middleweights would face each o...
After the early interactions between Adesanya and Costa, it seemed like the UFC wanted to save that bout for when both were top contenders - or, better yet, when one was a champion. Adesanya would beat Derek Brunson in late 2018 and Anderson Silva in early 2019, setting up an interim title fight against Kelvin Gastelum. Adesanya edged out Gastelum ...
More than a year after beating Hall, Costa squared up against fellow human specimen Yoel Romero. Many saw the fight as a No. 1 contender bout, with the winner prepped to face either Whittaker or Adesanya. Costa narrowly defeated Romero in an epic war at UFC 241 on Aug. 17, 2019 and called for a title shot in his postfight interview. "I just come he...
"The Last Stylebender" reached the pinnacle of the sport at UFC 243 on Oct. 5, 2019. Adesanya put Whittaker away in the second round of their highly-anticipated bout and captured the undisputed middleweight title. Adesanya jumped up on the fence after the TKO finish and appeared to share a few words with Costa, who was cageside at the event. "You k...
The fight between Adesanya and Costa was again off the table less than a month later. Costa had to undergo surgery after suffering a biceps injury and would be out of action for eight months. Costa's impairment forced the UFC to consider other options for Adesanya's first title defense. "We are working on something else with Israel right now," Whit...
