The Apex in Las Vegas hosts UFC Fight Night “Costa vs. Vettori” a 14-fight card headlined by top five Middleweights battling up a division.
Both Costa & Vettori come in looking to rebound from failed attempts at challenging Israel Adesyana for the UFC Middleweight championship. The fight has taken a turn in narrative this week after Costa announced he wouldn’t be able to make 185 lbs. as contracted and the weight was moved to 195 lbs. before having to be raised once more to 205 lbs. Costa has 11 of his 13 wins by knockout, while Vettori has 11 finishes nine by submission.
