Costa (14-2 MMA, 6-2 UFC) snapped a two-fight losing skid when he earned a unanimous decision victory over Rockhold (16-6 MMA, 6-5 UFC) in their anticipated middleweight bout, which took place at Vivint Arena in Salt Lake City.

Earlier this week, Luke Rockhold asked Daniel Cormier, “When have you fucking seen me quit!?”
Still never, it turns out.
