Costa, on the other hand, has been on an impressive winning streak, having won all of his fights since joining the UFC in 2017.

Adesanya has responded to Costa’s challenge and is now looking forward to a potential rematch.

The two fighters have already faced off once before, at UFC 253 in September 2020. Adesanya won the fight by TKO in the second round, but Costa was able to put up a good fight and showed that he could be a serious challenge for Adesanya. Since then, Costa has been calling for a rematch and it looks like Adesanya is willing to give him one.

Adesanya has said that he is looking forward to the potential rematch with Costa and believes that it would be an exciting fight. He has also said that he is confident that he can beat Costa again and is eager to prove it in the octagon.

The potential rematch between Adesanya and Costa would be an exciting fight for fans of the UFC and could potentially decide who will be crowned the middleweight champion. It would also be a great opportunity for Adesanya to prove that he is the best middleweight fighter in the world and that he can defend his title against any challenger.

Only time will tell if Adesanya and Costa will face off again, but it looks like Adesanya is ready for the challenge and is eagerly anticipating the potential rematch.
