The UFC will experience a duel of the undefeated for the title for the first time since UFC 98, when Lyoto Machida and Rashad Evans in a lightweight battle against each other in 2009. Today, the 42-year-old Brazilian won and achieved a total of fourteen wins in a row. American Evans finished in the unfortunate thirteen.
After eleven years, there is another undefeated pair. The 31-year-old Nigerian will go to the main match on the island of Yas in the role of champion. A Brazilian two years younger will want to take his championship belt.
Great game in the UFC. Procházka is about an opponent. There is a possibility, but the manager wants a different name

Costa won 13 matches, of which twelve times before the limit, eleven times he scored KO, or TKO V UFC has five battles behind him. Adesanya celebrated his victory fourteen times before the limit. In the UFC, he has passed all eight previous tests so far.
“She has a few things that she does well, I’d love to see it, but it’s pretty cool. There are not many of them. On the contrary, there are many things I do, and I’m sure he’s amazed, “Adesanya said with a good dose of confidence.
Both undefeated, both at the top of the middle weight, but if we look at the UFC statistics, some numbers may surprise. For example, Adesanya spends an average of almost 16 minutes in a match. The reason is clear, matches for five five-minute rounds will increase your stay in the cage. Costa matches three times faster and manages almost nine significant shots per minute, opponent four. The Nigerian is not so quick in this comparison, but he collects less – 2.4 beats per minute, Costa 5.8.
I feel brutal and ready to give life performance, reports the first Slovak before the battle in the UFC

“I’m sick of a champion like Adesanya. You will see the wilderness. I believe that I will finish it in the second round, because in the first round it will run away from me. This will be a barbaric act, “the Brazilian said again.
“Costa is stupid, he keeps moving forward and scattering punches. Thanks to that, it’s really canceling, I’m really looking forward to this. I’m looking forward to a big, bloated ignoramus running up to me, trying to strike, and I’ll keep moving and keeping me away, “Adesanya told ESPN.
According to bookmakers, Adesanya is the favorite. UFC President Dana White has his point. “These are two undefeated fighters with different styles and seemingly real hatred for each other, so I believe in an incredible fight. I predict this will be the match of the year, “White told TMZ Sports.
