Paulo Costa
The undefeated Paulo Costa has already developed a fearsome reputation as one of the middleweight divisions most dangerous fighters.
A physically imposing specimen, the 27-year-old Brazilian has been unstoppable in the Octagon so far, putting together a four-fight unbeaten run to add to his overall 12-0 record.
It’s the nature of these performances that’s most impressive though, with all four having come via TKO and included the likes of Johnny Hendricks and Uriah Hall.
However, the 7th ranked Costa only fought once in 2018, with a major fight against Yoel Romero falling through later in the year, so instead it feels like 2019 is now going to be the time for ‘The Eraser’s’ star to burn brighter than ever before.
