The pair battled it out in a slugfest, and ultimately &#8220;The Eraser&#8221; took home the unanimous decision victory against his more experienced opponent.<\/p>\n<p>It was originally anticipated that Costa would be the next man to face Adesanya for the &#8220;Last Stylebender&#8217;s&#8221; first title defence, however, a bicep injury forced the Brazilian out of the race, leaving his former opponent Romero to step up and take the title shot.<\/p>\n<p>Adesanya and Romero collided at UFC 248 in March this year. Despite being an eagerly-anticipated fight, it was a relatively lacklustre affair and Adesanya won by decision to defend his 185-pound crown.<\/p>\n<p>Costa is convinced he is the only man who can swipe the middleweight belt from Adesanya. Their ongoing beef will culminate in their upcoming fight, but the Brazilian isn&#8217;t willing to let the bad blood go and is preparing for a knockout finish.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven after I knock him out, I will not shake his hand,\u201d Costa <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/ufc\/paulo-costa-wont-be-squashing-beef-with-israel-adesanya-after-fight\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">told<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/mmajunkie.usatoday.com\/2020\/07\/ufc-253-paulo-costa-israel-adesanya-no-peace-after-grudge-match\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">MMA Junkie<\/a> recently. \u201cIt will be wild.

I won\u2019t wait like Romero did. I will hunt him inside the cage and close the distance and land my shots to his body and his face. \u2026 Don\u2019t go so fast like Whittaker and don\u2019t go slow like Romero. Make a balance.
