Unless Costa really wants this one, I see it going to Khamzat. Both these guys seem to like the spotlight more than the Octagon itself though, so I can see it coming down to whoever actually puts in the work ahead of the fight.

I didn't realize this was announced. I wonder who will get the win. Chimaev was looking unstoppable until the burns fight and I can't remember the last time I saw Costa fight... I want to say the Izzy fight but that seems like too long ago.

Looked good against Vettori, looked "OK" against Rockhold in a super weird fight. Hard to appraise Costa's ranking right now.
