Paulo Costa Set For Co-Main-Event Showing Saturday
2 years agoLooking for his first win since 2019, middleweight Paulo Costa (13-2) will take to the co-main event of UFC 278 on Saturday when he battles a dangerous opponent in Luke Rockhold. He only has two losses in his professional career, and both have come in his last two outings, with one of those against the champion Israel Adesanya. Prior to his two losses recently, Costa was on fire in the UFC, winning all five of his previous fights in the Octagon -- four of those by knockout/TKO. A dangerous finisher, 12 of his 13 career wins have come by a finish, with 11 of them via KO/TKO. DraftKings sees the Eraser as the big favorite with a salary of $8,700. Throughout his UFC career, Costa averages 82.0 fantasy points per contest. It has been three years since Rockhold has been in the Octagon, and he is facing a very dangerous striker in Costa. Look for a big finish in this matchup.
