Video: Watch Paulo Costa take on ‘Israel Runnersanya’ ahead of UFC 253

It appears Paulo Costa has his upcoming fight all figured out.

The No. 2 ranked middleweight contender is set to take on current champion, Israel Adesanya, in the main event of UFC 253. As he prepares for his first championship opportunity in the UFC, Costa has given fans a glimpse of what he has been working on in training camp in the most comedic way.

Costa recently uploaded a video to his YouTube channel titled “Run for your Life,” where Costa staged a mock fight between he and an Adesanya impersonator better known as Muay Thai champion Vanderlei “Toquinho” Gonçalves.
