Diego Sanchez is very impressed by the way Paulo Costa cut down to the 185-pound limit for his middleweight title fight with Israel Adesanya at UFC 253.<\/p>\n

Despite walking around at well over 200 pounds, Costa was the first fighter on the scale for the UFC 253 weigh-ins this morning<\/a>. The middleweight title challenger also didn’t appear to be particularly depleted from his cut down to 185 pounds.<\/p>\n

The way Costa effortlessly cut down to middleweight earned him some props from MMA veteran Diego Sanchez, who will take on Jake Matthews on the UFC 253 undercard.<\/p>\n
