Paulo Costa and Luke Rockhold gave fans one of the most bizarre but entertaining fights in recent memory.
The two middleweight veterans fought for 15 minutes – with starts and stops – in the co-main event of UFC 278 in 2022. It was a bloody, back-and-forth fight that left both fighters completely exhausted by the end of the contest. In the end, Costa managed to raise his hand and emerge victorious.
You can watch Costa’s courageous performance in the video above.
Costa (14-3 MMA, 6-3 UFC) returns to the Octagon to face former UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland (28-6 MMA, 15-6 UFC). The two fight in the co-main event of UFC 302 on Saturday at the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ
