Israel Adesanya believes Paulo Costa is on steroids ahead of their UFC 253 title fight.
On September 26, in the main event of UFC 253, Adesanya and Costa will finally fight. They have been linked to a match ever since ‘The Last Stylebender’ won the belt last October. The two have traded shot at one another and now the champion believes the Brazilian is juicing ahead of the title fight.
“I think it’s great for me, it’s that aesthetic of it, I’m this skinny person, this little frail kid that everyone looks at,” Adesanya said during a pre-fight virtual media day (via BJPENN.com). “And he looks like the perfect antagonist, he’s big, bulky and juiced up to the f*cking gills. He’s a guy that beats everybody on the fence, so when I come out there with the Bruce Lee sh*t and f*ck him up, it’s going to be ‘oh my god wow, he beat that big muscle boy.’”
Entering the fight, Israel Adesanya is the betting favorite. Yet, he knows all the causal fans believe Costa will knock him out just because of how much bigger the Brazilian is. So, for the champ, he actually likes that as he knows this rivalry with Costa will add more money to his bank account due to all the extra attention.
“Like the casuals are going to feed off of it. I love that because it means more eyes, more attention,” Adesanya said. “Like I said, you don’t have to watch my fights, but you’re going to pay. I’m not talking money, I’m talking you’re going to pay attention. And attention turns to…” he said while making a money sign with his fingers.
Israel Adesanya is a perfect 19-0 in his career and coming off a lackluster decision win over Yoel Romero. Before that, he knocked out Robert Whittaker to win the middleweight title.
Paulo Costa, meanwhile, is also undefeated at 13-0. He hasn’t fought since UFC 241 last August when he defeated Yoel Romero by decision. It was his first decision win of his career. In the UFC, he is a perfect 5-0 including knockout wins over Uriah Hall and Johny Hendricks.

Luke Rockhold believes there’s a good chance we’ll see a new middleweight champion next month in Paulo Costa.
Costa takes on Israel Adesanya in a highly-anticipated middleweight title grudge match set to headline UFC 253. Although the initial date was September 19, there are now plans to move it back a week for September 26.
It’s a unique title fight taking place between two undefeated fighters and while Adesanya is the betting favorite, Rockhold believes Costa has more than enough in his game to dethrone the current middleweight king.
“I think he could easily do that,” Rockhold told Submission Radio of Costa defeating Adesanya. “You have the bull and you have the matador, and Israel needs to use his length to get the f*ck away.
“That dude, Paulo Costa, he just comes forward, comes forward with everything he’s got.”
That said, Adesanya is still the champion and coming off wins over Robert Whittaker and Yoel Romero.
Boasting some of the best footwork and distance management in the sport today, if anyone can defeat Costa, it is him.
“But Adesanya, he moves real well, he evades well and he tags well,” Rockhold added. “So, you never know. Everybody can be hurt.”
Rockhold, meanwhile, is targeting a return to the division and a few wins could see him get right back into the middleweight title picture.
Do you agree with Rockhold’s assessment of the fight?
