It wouldn’t be surprising to see Costa adopt the role of a coach since Dana White has already announced the return of TUF last month.
White mentioned Usman/Covington, Usman/Masvidal, Adesanya/Costa and Khabib/Tony or Justin as strong candidates as coaches for The Ultimate Fighter’s return.

Paulo Costa vs Israel Adesanya: How do they match up?
Costa is a dangerous middleweight with brutal power in his hands. He may not have the cleanest striking but he can separate people from their consciousness with ease. Additionally, his intense pressure poses a serious threat to fighters in the early rounds.

Adesanya, on the other hand, is one of the best strikers in the UFC. He might not look threatening but he can surely knock out anybody in the division. Many critics believe that Costa will be an easy fight for Adesanya because of “The last Stylebender’s” slick counters.
Since Costa is also known to slow down after the second round, it will be easy for Adesanya to pick his shots and end the show. However, he must weather the early storm first, and avoid staying in the pocket.
