After suffering a debilitating loss at the hands of ‘Stylebender’, Costa failed to make weight in a high-stakes middleweight bout against Marvin Vettori. In addition to that, he lost the fight as well. However, Costa gained some momentum with his recent win over veteran middleweight Luke Rockhold at UFC 278. Costa comfortably made weight and put on an absolute slugfest against Rockhold.
