However, it might not be as easy as it sounds. Adesanya has been the undisputed champion of the middleweight roster and has vanquished everyone who is unlucky enough to cross his path.

That said, an explosive fighter like Costa is only one punch away from glory. While we continue to analyze the possible outcome of the fight, Costa has given a stupefying insight into his training camp.

Although his brother is a Jiu-Jitsu head, he also looks after the MMA sessions. The entire team has worked itself to the bone in a bid to come up with a response to Adesanya’s striking.

Considering The Last Styleblender’s swiftness inside the cage, Costa seems to have formulated a strategy. The Brazilian is training with lighter partners to improve his speed.

“I like that kind of variation of training with someone lighter with 176 lbs and then train with Alex, who has the same weight like me.

“I can feel the contrast, it’s a higher pace with him and a lot of slower and stronger with Alex,” said Costa.

‘The Eraser’ further revealed how he remains hydrated throughout the session. Since Costa possesses a massive physical structure, he vows to lose a lot of weight, around 6lbs during each rough session.

Thus, Costa relies on a lot of water during his training. He also disclosed the supplementary products that UFC sends him. Not to worry, Costa consumes them under proper medical guidance, issued by the organized hubs.

Although Costa has appeared confident about defeating Adesanya, there’s no denying that the Brazilian needs to prepare himself for a long-lasting night.
