As of this writing, Strickland hasn’t responded to Costa’s social media jab, though it’s seemingly solely a matter of time till he solutions.
Earlier than the loss to Whittaker, Costa defeated former UFC middleweight champion Luke Rockhold by unanimous resolution at UFC 278. After an extended contract dispute with the UFC, Costa appears re-focused on bettering his exercise degree contained in the Octagon.
Strickland shocked the world by defeating Israel Adesanya for the UFC middleweight belt at UFC 293 final yr. The loss to du Plessis snapped a three-fight profitable streak.
Du Plessis is anticipated to face Adesanya for his first middleweight title protection later this yr. If Strickland defeats Costa, and du Plessis is victorious, a rematch might be on the horizon.
Costa is seeking to regain the shape that made him probably the most terrifying middleweights within the UFC earlier in his tenure. If his social media antics are any indication, he’s stopping at nothing to attempt to get in Strickland’s head forward of battle evening.
