Vitor Costa is part of the UFC middleweight division's deep end, fighting out of Brazil — 10 pro fights in, still swinging for a number next to his name.
He fights at a pace most of the division can't hold — 7.36 strikes landed a minute, every minute. By round three, opponents are usually fighting his fight.
The last fight went to Damian Pinas (TKO - Doctor's Stoppage R1) — a setback, and the interesting question is always what a fighter does with one.
At 25 years old with 10 fights of experience already banked, the trajectory matters more than the current ranking.
