Paulo Henrique Costa has both the look and the penchant for finishing fights that could make him a talent to watch in the coming months.
The 27-year-old known as “Borrachinha” mowed down “The Ultimate Fighter 17” finalist Uriah Hall in their preliminary middleweight tilt at UFC 226, winning via technical knockout 2:38 into the second frame. The former Jungle Fight champion swarmed Hall near the fence, putting his opponent away with a devastating right uppercut to the body.
“This is just one more victory on my way to the world title,” Costa said.
