All USADA employees were on an extended vacation leading up to this fight 😂😂
It’s fun to joke about but in reality they’re just absolute specimens of genetic excellence!
@@Gen7486lmao what? You think they aren’t on peds? 😂
LMAO 😂 damn that's a good one
Why is it so hard to accept they didn’t fail the tests for the fight ?
All the fighters are juiced. That's why you can't bet on the UFC is a bunch of countries like Canada.
That’s how ordinary people imagine fights/fighters
Sandhagen vs yan
Ordinary people,who you think you are bro😂
@@coleireland9486 Ordinary/casual people🤷🏻♂️ I think everyone get what i meant my friend
@@snzhkk2665you could have just said People tho you just described it 😂
@@Goyimdemducyou're thinking way to hard now lol
Cuban super soldier vs Brazil's own super soldier 🤣 this fight was an absolute banger
it's hard to believe that an ordinary human being Whittaker spent a total of 65 minutes in octagon fighting these two genetically modified super-soldiers and won
Sounds like a title straight from an anime XD Soldier of God vs The Eraser
@@fallasleep9472 this could be an amazing anime title
@@gabrieldinglasan Yeah, Record of Ragnorak type stuff
@@hepatic_encephalopathy Izzy beat all of them🤷🏼♂️
Soldier of God vs Brazilian Hulk. What a time it was 😭
Soldier of God my A
Really wish Yoel Romero had a longer run in the UFC. He joined super late but still put on bangers! True OG.
Imagine him at 30 vs Anderson Silva
Watching this live was insane. All time classic
agreed, one of the only events i bought real tickets for, was insane watching this in real life, well worth the price oh you meant ppv?
@@joshuamason8992what did it smell there, can you still remember?
@@PeanutButterCoffeeBread smelled like Secret Juice
1:05 Yoel pointing another direction to distract Paulo after the knockdown was pure genius 😂
What’s that ? A right hand 👊🏽
I DID NOT EVEN SEE THAT. That is fuckin hilarious.
Paulo saluting then walking forward is iconic. Two absolute specimens.
Made it clear that the young bull was seeking mating rights and he wouldn't back down
Two juiced up machines destroying each other, this fight was great
This fight was actually amazing 😂😂😂
The what’re you laughing for? Fight me.
Especially the last 2 mins
@@maliksumner502 ong
❤️🫡
@@Gracz667 it should have been a five rounder 😂
Romero - hey Costa look over there 😂 Never gets old
One of the best fights in combat sports 🔥 hope to see this costa against Strickland
Costa gonna beat up Strickland
@@jonskygge9779 LOL
@@jonskygge9779 Can't see it happening to be honest. DDP is every bit as athletic as Paulo and way more unpredictable, and has better cardio, and he barely pulled it off. Sean should be able to shut him down with his 1-2 and shockingly good philly shell without any major issues.
*Paulo costa is the only human who walked down Yoel Romero ! he is that kind of savage !! real life baki fight lol*
Walled down lol Not even remotely so
Romero won mate
and in front of izzy he was like a noob and fought like he never fought. Too much money ruins that sport
izzy was constantly running bro.. what are you smoking. it wasn’t romero’s fault
@@dundee1080He did but Yoel won 2,3
This fight should be at UFC HOF someday. The real mixed martial arts. Striking, Wrestling, grappling. Everything 🔥🔥🔥
I miss Yoel... I also miss this Costa... He was actually taking fighting 100% seriously... Now he's almost more of a social media presence than fighter...
agree.. costa fighting seriously is a dangerous contender
@sebastianerre4199 Seems like after the Stylebender loss he kinda lost his way... Started focusing on his social media rather than fighting. Unfortunately.
@@bkbaughn he looked really good last fight after a long lay-off imo
prob realised that he can make shit loads of money without fighting so he lost motivation but still looked great in his last fight but yea few years ago he was beast and legit contender
@@treyfivecarti5119 That's true. I hope he's got "it" back and starts regularly fighting again... Loved watching his fights...
Yoel "THE LAB RAT" Romero vs Paulo "THE SECRET SAUCE" Costa
More juice than a Tropicana factory
Closest we'll ever get to a real life anime fight.
1:10 "hey, look over there!" 😆
This is a fight i always direct new fans to. ”Want to see he-man vs the hulk?”
Absolutely a BANGER from start to finish!
Two gladiators right here
One of the most insane brawls 😅
So much juice in this fight you'll test positive by just watching
Still one of the best middleweight fights of all time. 15 mins of straight violence
I’ve been waiting to see a full costa fight
All time classic
yoel going "😛" every 10 seconds
0:39 is always what I caised the tear and problems in Costas arm ...the strength and force to stop the yoel takedown. Is crazy
Hands down my favorite fight of all time, was wild watching live
This one of the most hyped fights of all time for hardcores, and it absolutely delivered
One of my favorite fights in ufc history
*"2 Brahman Bulls 🐂 going at it"* - *Toe Rogan*
I really enjoyed this fight!!! Thanks to both of you!! Great job!!!
Both fighters are good people, respectful and it was a great fight too.
Ultimate classic! Two powerhouses giving each other it all
One of the best fights
One of my favorite fights! It was like 2 super heroes going at it.
One of the first UFC fights i ever watched, best introduction to the sport!
I've seen this one so many times. It's still crazy how both guys could take so much massive hits and barely show any damage.
Craziest shit this two fought at 185 here. They look like they weigh 235
They weighed in at 185
@@eliminator173you don’t say?
@@FrigidHeights no I didn't say anything. I typed it.
@@eliminator173😂, smart ass lmao
Paulo has never walked down anyone like this since it happened. This agression coupled with his phisicality were the only things that made him an interesting fighter, stick and move Paulo is low top 10 at best unfortunately
I feel Izzy actually changed him. Costa tried to walk him down and got PUT down. Now he’s blasting secret juice kicks to everyone’s body.
this was peak confidence Costa because he was finishing everybody
@@mvz105 Yeah, I imagine it has to fuck with your head to go three rounds against a concrete block with legs, taking his best shots, and then get completely dominated by Izzy.
His fight against Whittaker was definitely fun. It was a very close fight too. His fights are always super entertaining.
@@Demonrifts Style-Matchup innit.
Sukuna kills gojo 😂😂😂
If this was now this would have to be a BMF fight man that was wild.
Damn Paula is strong. Defended the take down, even reversed it for a moment.
This is like Street Fighter 💪🔥
This is the Absolutely the fight you show to your friends to make them fans of MMA/UFC...
This fight made it seem like Costa was gonna be a force. Then he gets injured has to pull out of the Izzy fight and is replaced with Romero Then the Izzy fight finally happens and he gets destroyed Then another injury and he doesn't get another fight for a good while till Vettori and loses that one fortunately didn't get destroyed that time but still a setback Then Rockhold and he finally gets a victory Then finally the opportunity to make contendership once again by fighting Whitaker and he loses that one. Been unfortunate for him. I was rooting for him to win that fight. Would have opened up some new and exciting fights. Since Whittaker's fought everyone. Strickland might be his last opportunity to finally get to contendership one more time. Hopefully he does.
Two natty kings slugging it out 👏
I got so fucking high for this fight and was gifted one of the greatest 3 round fights of all time🔥🔥🔥
another amazing fight. love this stuff.
The Sportsmanship shown in this match is really impressive
UFC needs to sign Shadrack Nsua.
That won't happen because of his manager Gabe Itches.
@@krystiankepa8139 What's going on there?
amazing fighters, next level!
Trt vs anabol
Best 3 round fight of all time!
How many times have you watched this? Me: yes
Incredible fight
Why neither of them fought this aggressively against Adesanya I’ll never know, especially Yoel
This was such a good fight. I liked how Yoel was kind of faking out his tiredness a bit, but paulo wasn't taking any of the bait and stuck to his guns and won.
Costa is actually a sick fighter.
This fight is so freakin badass. Could be in an anime
One of my all time favorite fights! Imaging getting in there with one of them 😂😂😂
Consider that Paulo was in his late 20's and Yoel in his early 40's in this fight
Longest ufc fight for costa got me dead
I forgot how good this fight was 👏
Closest thing we’d ever get to a real life super hero / anime fight
Ima always remember him saluting Yoel mid fight what a war
Cruz - this is what we knew would happen Goat
This fight is awesome !
Straight up f'ing WAR!
If this went 5 rounds someone would have died from exhaustion
More action in the first minute of the first round then some whole fights 😮
I agree.
What a fight 🤛
At 1:05 Yoel gets dropped and when Costa goes after him, he points to the side and then drops Costa. Thats some funny shit.
A fight between two superheroes
Wow i just went looking for this fight ha
Paulo Acosta super strenght person he's action skills
Great fight guys
Bro Romero is built like a Uruk-hai straight out of Isengard 😂
Shit was pretty close third round is so crazy. So is every round this fight.🔥
When did the fight happen tho
I like how Yoel thought he won then had the derp face in the end xDDDD
Strickland by a million jabs
Damn right son!😂
Superbe Match !!! 👏👏👏
The eraser vs The soldier of god
the best PED KINGS that never got caught. The fight we needed.
Paulo is so tough and entertaining. Great fighter!
When both Brazil and Cuba put all their points on "strength and power" on the Super Soldier Program.
Just a simple observation partway through the fight Yoel Romeros defence is actually really quite exquisite and subtle
They edited out the break from the low blow First time I've seen them do that i think They should do that all the time.
All jokes aside, I honestly believe the his was Costas last fight on gear. He hasn’t fought like this since, he fights in the same weight division but has definitely downsized. And doesn’t push forward anymore
Closest UFC fight to a real life anime.
Best fight ever!
Great fight!
Clash of he titan's
insane
how bradley martin thinks he fights
PLEASE UFC!!! DO NOT UPLOAD FIGHTS WITHOUT SLOW MO'S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Damn after watching light weight this feels so gased out
