Paulo Costa vs Luke Rockhold Prediction

Costa comes into this fight as a heavy favorite sitting at 345 right now on draft kings. The books are also expecting Costa wins this fight via knockout. He is a heavy favorite for a good reason as he comes into this fight representing a record of 13-2. Costa is the younger fighter here, coming in at age thirty-one. He has been on a roll and will look to show the world why he is such a heavy favorite on the national stage tonight.

Luke Rockhold comes into this fight with a ton of experience at age thirty-seven. The California native will look to pull off the upset tonight. He is 16-5 overall and has knockout power in his game. He holds a couple of advantages tonight as he is the taller fighter by an inch and has a reach advantage at seventy-seven vs seventy-two for Costa. 

I am taking the over in this fight tonight. I get it. These are two guys who typically do not take long to win, but they are also two guys that are tough to knockout early. This is a great price for over just 1.5 rounds. I expect these fighters to play a lot of defense early in the first round, and by the time they get aggressive, the fight will go over. Let’s stay hot in the UFC!
