Alessandro Costa
Flyweight | 25 | Mexico but from Brazil | 10-2 | Win streak: 5 | 2 KO/TKOs, 6 Submissions
Costa was born in Brazil but lives in Mexico where he’s the current LUX titleholder. I really like Costa as a prospect in the flyweight division. His speed, explosiveness, and athleticism match what a top-level flyweight should be. His jiu-jitsu/grappling is a real threat and he can compete in the UFC in just that one area. I’m really impressed with his striking as well as it’s becoming more and more of a threat. His hands are very sharp and his shot placement is pretty good. Costa is a well-rounded fighter with tons of potential. He’s also very exciting to watch.
