Paulo Costa Demands Rematch After Disrespectful Humping Incident, Izzy Responds

Paulo Costa has angrily demanded a rematch with Israel Adesanya and called the UFC middleweight champion "human trash" for his degrading post-fight actions on Saturday.

"Adesanya is human trash," his caption says. "This has become a grave situation! I saw his disgusting action after [the] fight and I will not stop until I have my revenge."

In the video itself, Costa goes on to say: "I disapprove 100%... To me, this is mortal now. Nobody can stop me.

"I want my rematch and you know I will wait for you." The Brazilian goes on to mysteriously hint that "something happened" before their big fight, which impacted him and contributed to his limp and ineffective display on the night.

But Costa has promised the second time will be different, adding: "I'm not [making an] excuse here to my people, to my fans. But I will be 100% to fight him and to make him pay. That's my words. Save my words."

Dana White confirmed that if Jared Cannonier can beat former middleweight champion Robert Whittaker at UFC 254 in October, then 'The Killa Gorilla' will be next for Adesanya.

So an instant chance for Costa to avenge his first ever MMA defeat seems unlikely, as his title challenge was so uncompetitive. But given the pre-fight - and post-fight - war of words between them, it can probably be put together if Costa can put together some impressive comeback victories starting in 2021.
