Paulo Costa: UFC's Wasted Potential
ฝัง

- Paulo Costa rose to the top as an undefeated powerhouse. A wrecking ball of pure destruction. But he would fall short at a pivatol moment. What followed was a downfall for the ages, a social media masterpiece, and a ressurection to match.
This is the story of the Costa we all know and love.
Thanks for joining me on another one my friends,
Love Always,

I believe Paulo to be an expert level troll. No delusion at all, just a man with a sense of humor relatable to so many of us on the internet.
You my friend are delusional and have been sipping a little bit to much of Paulo’s secret juice 🥤
He was delusional about not taking the blame for missing weight for the Vettori fight. Other than that, this video said he turned into a troll because he stopped taking the sport as seriously when he lost to Izzy. It didn't say he was a troll because of being delusional.
@@imageword5576 How can you take it seriously when you're knocked unconscious and humped like a dog.
He's definitely not funny and he's delusional
@@HanBowloOG izzy fans ride more than lebron fans atp
Bodybuilder , comedian, GQ model = Paulo Costa.
The hero we all wanted.
lol, ya he's fun! his english has improved a lot, too
@@nevertakeadayoff I thank his fans
It’s his coach alberacin. He did the same with Henry’s cringe gimmick.
s he did with costs after his loss to adasanya
In an interview he was asked about social media posts “ funny ones”.
And admitted he didn’t do any on the list.
he was also an IT Teacher lmao
not for me thanks, keep you steroid hero :P
he may have had a downfall on a competitive level, but it seems like Costa's the happiest and content he's ever been now. Running his own gym, being a businessman, training fighters, at peace with himself.
Paulo understands and accepts humility in a game where minor setbacks can cost guys their sanity and peace of mind.
Agreed! He's got nothing to prove on a fighting level (After Romero) and seemingly lots of ways to make money without destroying those looks.
Well said
As a fighter he’s a lot worse tho and that sucks
In what world was Costa v Rockhold a good fight. Both gassed after the first and got supper sloppy
@@aslanlovett4059 it was a good fight because it made the company money a lot of money and gave both guys more notoriety and the opportunity to make more money in the industry.
Secret Juice will always be number one in our hearts
Love secret 🥤
@@MixedMartialAcademic Victoria?
Let's get jacket
I'm gonna be the guy buying full crates of Secret Juice when Borrachina finally decides to launch. If he doesn't change the label I'm buying two crates. Honestly, I trust Costa to make a good juice. Takes more than steroids to stay that lean.
@@MixedMartialAcademicjust found your channel. Spectacular editing, commentary, content, etc👍👍👍
Paulo has actually blown up and gained the love of many more fans lately. He's not delusional, he's just a funny guy who likes to troll lol.
He doesn’t take the sport seriously anymore, he’s just a joker now
Perhaps not delusional; just another what if story.
Sup bro 🫡 yea you can tell this dude is just a delusional lib himself that’s mad at Paulo for being based and redpilled 😹
@@CarlWidegrip So disrespectful. The man fought for the world title and went in guns blazin', erection raisin' against probably the most dangerous fighter ever in Romero. Real fans respect Borrachina's achivements there's no what if's.
@@notgarybrownCosta is gonna lose to a guy Khamzat beat. Costa will get wrecked by Aliskerov.
I actually think he is doing better and is happier than ever. Also i am a bigger fan of his and always read his Tweets than any other UFC fighter. It's weird. But props to him. Happy for him.
I love how his personality is coming out now. I think he's hilarious and I'll always tune in to his fights because he's extremely talented and exciting to watch. Just because one doesn't get the belt, does not mean that one won't reach a level of greatness.
Very true .. Ernie shavers comes to mind
Why are you speaking like Shakespeare? "One would say"
Weird
The man, the myth the legend, Paulo Costa.
Delusional? If anything Paulo has more fans than ever right now and that’s mostly due to his social media game. He shows up in every fight, (minus adesanya) and is always entertaining and hilarious, with minimal English I might add. If anything it speaks to his star power to see him take huge missteps in the eyes of the fans, yet redeem himself so quickly. I don’t care if Paulo even comes close to a title again, I’m tuning in every time.
He was delusional about missing weight for the Vettori fight.
@@imageword5576 yeah, that was a pretty major f up. But he put on a decent performance, and rebounded pretty quickly In terms of popularity.
He shows up every fight? He was offered Whittaker and didn't want to take that fight. Blachowicz and other fighters were offered and calling him out. The guy has skills, but wasting his prime. He fought 5 times in last 5 years.
@@EugeakaEugene I think you misunderstood what I meant. He “shows up” meaning he turns in good performances. I do agree about the lack of activity, he definitely should have cashed in and fought multiple times a year, definitely wasted some potential.
The only point I’m making is that the dude has a massive fan base, regardless of any fuckups, lack of activity, or not taking specific matchups. The guy has some real star power, even if he somewhat squandered it.
Adesanya says hi! 😂😂
I'm glad you called out Izzy's behavior. It's kinda ridiculous the shit you can get away with if you win. They just become immune to criticism because any at all is considered people being jealous.
He did the same with Alex and his son. He really needs to grow up.
@@ZacharyDarkes Alex should’ve handled that after the first fight, now his son knows better
@@ThaTruth223 he did 🤦♂️
Totally agree. I understand the need to sell a fight but afterwards fighters should show respect to one another. Not saying they have to hug and be best friends but there's no need to rub it in either.
@@1incher... when ? because i remember seeing not too long ago Alex along with his son reenacting the knock out for his youtube channel. he didn’t have a problem with his child’s behavior then, sucks someone had to do his work for him
andre agassi said "the truth that no one talks about, the truth of elite sport that nobody tells you, is that the wins don't feel as good as the losses feel bad." i never forgot that.
Just imagine how much that is amplified today, where everyone and their mother has a voice through social media. Guys lose, then get hated on from every angle
Costa is going for another loss in July against Aliskerov.
Izzy is a child in a man's body in the worst way possible, Costa is a child in a man's body in the best way possible
@productionleaned8141 Izzy is immature and a cringy Petty negative way, Costa is immature in the wholesome goofy class clown way. That is only my opinion. Doesn't make me right, just how I view it
@productionleaned8141 nor am I wrong, you have selective memory, now go away
True
Costa's a child in a steroids body. Doesn't make me right, just how I view it
@@paulvicks1336 USADA and anyone who lifts says your wrong.
He’s on my Mount Rushmore of MMA Goats for his twitter alone
Had no clue you were an mma fan, that's dope love your videos
I saw Romero vs Costa live and I can’t begin to tell you how fucking chaotic it felt watching two gladiators tear each other apart in there. The crowd was electric as hell the entire time.
This guy never had a boring fight
Guess u didn’t see adasanya fight . Not a fan of him myself but it was a massive one sided affair
@@Youpeeipay even tho he lost the fight was not boring
@@Youpeeipay a loss = boring fight. excellent logic buddy
@@Youpeeipay 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
@@Youpeeipay yeah the fight were Izzy came in with a breast how could anyone forget
Costa fans are clearly special.
Extremely
1:47 "Paulo, Paulo, go check on him, make some fans"
Costa: "I dissprove one hundred percent"
He keeps getting better at editing these videos. This was phenomenal.
I've been waiting for this for so long. All hail the academic
Oh this is gonna be a good one!
I actually believed him about the wine because I had just gone through something similar and when you train hard and eat right then over drink sugary wine it makes you feel like you're dying sapped of energy and no strength. He was fucking smashing everyone in the division until Izzy did him dirt nasty in the octagon like a professional but I get it, nervous and stressed he's human
That's a hangover
@@TheUltimateWriterNZ indeed but with heavy training you're dehydrated even more and makes it much worse
fantastic documentary as always, love your ending to it, very thought provoking
Thanks so much my friend appreciate you!
Damn.. this guy makes the dopest mini docs consistently
Appreciate you brother!
.....idk if you're trolling. Costa usually is.
And we love it :)
I think after Costa lost, he stopped caring about being the greatest. He looked at and said “I wanna get paid screw this whole goat stuff.”
Lol get ready for the wave of costa's edgelord squad bombarding you for even mentioning him in a negative light
Yeah it’s already begun even though I love him 😂
If someone says something stupid, and you correct them, then that doesn’t make them little followers of whoever they are defending. I’m not Costas biggest fan, but I have great respect for him
Your documentaries are always so shockingly stunning.
Paulo=Legend! 💪💪
Man, Costa was a beast in his day. Hope he can get it back together and make another run at the belt. At this point tho, it might be wishful thinking 🤔
How? He literally has lost two fights
@@ehwhynot7631how as in he is still in the game?
His next fight is in July with Aliskerov. Costa is gonna get wrecked. By a guy who Khamzat beat.
Paulo had the potential an still does just gotta get swag an hunger back that passion an love he once had i really like the guy honestly
Bravo, from a fan of Costa before and after the Izzy fight. 👏
I've never been a bigger fan of anyone like the super fan that I've become of Costa lately.
Dude just grew on me like anything and I absolutely love everything that he's been doing like trolling on the internet like he's some reincarnated troll god to fighting inside the Cage like an absolute bull dog.
He seems to have gained some Midas touch sorta thing after his losses like suddenly whatever he touches turns into Gold.
He’s gonna get beat in July against Aliskerov. A guy Khamzat beat.
@@ryanb8736 No
@@CalvinCandieMO How is Costa gonna win? If Aliskerov takes him to the ground, it’s over for Costa. Costa gassed out in last 3 fights.
@@ryanb8736 Won't happen. Aliskerov is harmless
@@CalvinCandieMO You obviously don’t know him.
He’s a 4x combat Sambo champ from Dagestan, who’s trained by Abdulmanap Nurmogomedovand Khabib camp. He’s also the only guy to beat Amosov in Sambo, not once, but twice. Amasov is undefeated in mma at 28-0. So let that sink in.
Khabib and Islam are only 1x sambo champs. Aliskerov is 4x.
His do you think Khamzat got noticed. He beat one of the best.
Seeing Paulo with his black roots and bleached tips reminds me of being in the fifth grade and seeing white kids dye their hair black, then dye the tips bleach blonde to simulate that they originally had black hair, bleached their head blonde, and then their hair grew out exposing their black roots. People are weird.
Paulo is of portuguese and native descent, bro...
@@marcoaureliorodriguesdevas135 I'm not sure how that is in any way relevant.
@@andyhoughtaling6319 now i get it. Black root means "hair roots" right? My bad!
@@marcoaureliorodriguesdevas135 ohhh i see haha yeah my bad
Once he learned English he could not be denied.. Especially when he did those videos like he was a teacher. listening to his accent while he politely berated other FIGHTERS lol😂😂
Look at how huge Paulo is as a middleweight while still retaining that explosiveness.
Now imagine him as a welterweight.
Yes.
Yeah let him just chop a leg off😭
I'm imagining a skinny and weak version of him at 170.
He’d die trying to make weight
He'd have to stop the weights and eat one meal a day for like a year to get to that
That sounds like a canceled bout to me lol.
watching this on my tv. paused it to come to my laptop and say that the editing is phenomenal at the start. bravo sir
This is my favorite rise to stardom. I hated Paulo and now he makes me smile whenever I see him pop up. He’s truly become an entertainer
All your videos are brilliant!
Thank you very much!
Delete this, Paulo is the meme god and will smesh khamzat and that’s all that matters
Costa took my wife, this is personal
@@MixedMartialAcademic “i’m gonna make him my wife” energy
Such a great and charismatic man , And a powerhouse of a fighter.
You do not miss bro. my biggest inspiration 🙏
He has the funniest social media game in the ufc 🤣
This has to be the absolute best TH-cam channel ever 🎉 JHC you rock my friend
I love Paulo, the man is the definition of twitter but actually shows his face, bro knows the troll game and it’s pure entertainment😂
Most clickbait title. Downfall of Paulo Costa? I'm not a Paulo Costa fan but even I know his stock is ridiculously high in the UFC and his current contract he's being paid more than ever. Yes he's not winning the belt anytime soon or if ever, but his fans love him
This video is about is about a very specific time in his career, it’s got nothing to do with where he is right now chill out
@@MixedMartialAcademic u gonna make a vid about every guys “downfall” after 2 losses lmao
Costa is funny ah. Tbh I was really disappointed when Whittaker fight didn't happen, I was so excited for that.
Costa’s resurgent after all that is the best thing that could happen to his carrer
YES! New video can't wait to get time to sit and watch this. Putting it on the big screen.
Appreciate you as always tuning in my friend! Got a load videos in the pipe line so hopefully you’ll see weekly videos for a while in a month or so!
Can you do one on Yoel remero and Conor one day love you man great jop on the channel I’m currently in class watching this 🤘🏽😅
Another high quality offering from the Mixed Martial Academic. This fella can put together an engrossing yarn.
Costa is King!
Going straight to fight pass to watch the Romero fight! Fantastic video, love the slow mo edits. Thanks man!
The way Izzy systematically picked Costa apart is amazing. Thank you paulo for taking that beating as long as you did.
Never forget Costa is the reason Gynosanya was born
Aliskerov is gonna beat Costa in July.
@@cattlecumwewlad6941 never forget Izzy is the reason secret juice costa even exist.
Downfall? I’d say he’s more popular right now than ever before
It’s crazy cause I think Izzy vs Costa was my first time watching a ufc main event😭😭 idc I love them both they lowkey introduced me to ufc there little rivalry was real though 😂
Newb
@@J13-h6y yea buddy been almost 3 years..
@@Urmadatme4. just joking. There is always an entry point to any sport and this rivalry is a good one.
Another great video as always costa had such a career turnaround without needing to do anything crazy in the octagon
That clip of him saying “you have problem with weight? Is okay scared.” I haven’t seen before. I’m glad he lost.
I put a lot of it down to a lack of good English, and if you watch the full interview I think he was kind if scared Marvin wasn’t going to fight him and was kind of trying to egg him on to take a catch weight fight by calling him a puss 🐈 weird tactic but that’s the sense I got
Can you do a direct comparison between ONE FC and UFC cards this weekend? One was a Pride esq awesome show with almost all finishes and spectacular fighting ability. The other was mostly frustrating decisions and robberies and low level fighting skills.
Kron Gracie was atrocious and embarresing
I always see this but I think it's unfair to compare cards, seeing as One has had crappy cards and the ufc has had bangers. It's just the nature of the sport. Not every card is going to be good and that's for both promotions.
@@monaco0042p4p no one is putting out more exciting cards than ONE right now tho. Still can’t touch UFC in terms of talent though
That when he said he was pregnant by Izzy was hilarious I must admit 😂
I hope that’s a clickbait.
Izzy is almost as tremendous a pos as mcgregor. I blinked and almost missed the sly mention of this. It is a shame that he has talent and work ethic, he is a perfect example of what not to do and say, every time.
i can not wait for the chaos that will ensure if he fights Khamzat
Big Costa fan! He is sooo funny and fun to watch!
Hope he turns things around! Great video as always!
STRONG AND JACKET !!!
Amazing work as always sir and getting better 💯 thanks for quality content 🙏
Im not sure many people understand what the word "delusional" actually means
I still have no clue how Romero ate that headkick, what a fight!
I think time will show that Paulo Costa is Brazillian Luke Rockhold.
Extremely good looking, beautiful body, high level athletic talent.....so he assumes its just going to happen for him.
One difference is that Costa is able to be intentionally funny.
No way Costa was in tuf😳 “I can’t let you get close”😭 crazy
Paolo Costa is not erased. Always a good doc but with the regularly wrong take. He is not erased.
I mean I never said he was. Nor did I say that in the doc itself. The first half of this video is about a very specific time in his career where everyone was saying he had gone insane after the Izzy loss.
Brother, I don't think you've written a more powerful line than the one at the end 😮 OMF, the realist shit I've heard in a long time! 👏🔥
His Twitter game is strong afook. He could sell a secret juice and ride into the sunset.
*Paulo looks like a Super Hero , abso fokin lutley huge dude. . Fight with Borz will be insane !!!*
Costa vs Romero was the best brawl ever.
I truly believe Costa has the power to be the champion. I hope he gets better.
Ayyy, thanks for the new vid!
Costa is not stupid. If he spoke English, the UFC would get lit. I like his style. Francis should have learned this negotiation tactic.
Costa has proven to be pretty stupid
He realized that competing in the UFC isn't as good for the fighter as it is made out to be. Obviously mental and physical damage is a part of fighting but the UFC pays nothing for it. So, he stopped worrying about the 'legacy' too much, took control of the steering wheel of his life, and created an alternate income source for himself.
12:29 Every twitter Paulo lover should thank Izzy for completely emasculating and killing paulos ego. Had he not done that Paulo would still be trying to portray this killer instead of being himself and being funny.
N sean Strickland whipped izzy ass for the mw belt baby!!!! Its the year of the dog
This is a good and very entertaining guy
Joe rogan - “yea this guy is an animal, he just trains all day, doesnt drink or party”
Costa - “yea you know the most important fight of my career? I lost because i drank an entire bottle of wine the night before”
They’re both nuts
Another beautiful documentary!!
Costa doesnt have it anymore. The secret juice is in fact the fact that he is milking all he possibly can before retiring, and trying to pick the easiest possible fights before that gets too much evident
I don’t mind Izzy’s ridiculous showboating after defeating Costa. 1) Remember Costa talked a ton of shit, including a comedy skit about Adesanya, 2) I’m glad the UFC isn’t an overly sensitive place like everywhere else- Izzy would be fired or cancelled if he did that in any other sport.
went from monster of the division to not having a single win over anyone currently fighting in the ufc
He will lose his next fight too.
ngl, I think paulo will be champ within 2 years
I thought he had that potential u til the Strickland fight wtf was that
Erased is just a play on his nick name. Don't worry, Paulo isn't going anywhere and this video is not a diss . Good stuff as always lad
Appreciate you brother

Paulo Costas secret juice got me out of depression. revolutionary product

The only thing delusional is the video title. Paulo is on top of the game right now and the hottest he's ever been.
good fighter will see what happens next
Plus he brought more eyes to the sport with liverking. That was brilliant..
Great video Dude,
I still don't like Costa but i do have a lot more respect for him after watching this.

One of the funniest people in mma. He's still a tough old dude.
