He then faced the likes of Yoel Romero. It was a close fight, and at the end of 3 rounds, the judges gave the victory to Costa. This massive win earned him a title shot against champion Israel Adesanya. The match created a lot of hype, but all didn’t go well for the Brazilian. Adesanya knocked out Costa in the second round via punches and successfully defended his title.
