UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya will defend his division title against undefeated 185-pound bruiser Paulo Costa after more than a year of back-and-forth beef on social media. Elsewhere on the card, expected to take place on “Fight Island” in Abu Dhabi, Claudia Gadelha continues her march back to the 115-pound strap at the expense of the once-beaten Yan Xiaonan. Fun!
