In terms of a pure back-and-forth battle of the big shots,
the middleweight contest between Yoel Romero and Paulo Costa completely stole
the show at UFC 241.
Going the full 15 minutes, both fighters landed –
and received – some huge hits in a fight that really could’ve gone either way.
Costa would get the decision victory, but this is one of those fights where both
men can hold their head up high, and on another day the call may well have gone
the way of Romero.

Facing off against such a big name as Yoel Romero and
emerging victorious, that surely puts The Eraser right in the mix for the winner
of the upcoming Robert Whittaker vs. Israel Adesanya unification fight for the UFC Middleweight Championship.
