As of this writing, Strickland hasn’t responded to Costa’s social media jab, although it’s likely only a matter of time until he answers.

Before the loss to Whittaker, Costa defeated former UFC middleweight champion Luke Rockhold by unanimous decision at UFC 278. After a long contract dispute with the UFC, Costa seems re-focused on improving his activity level inside the Octagon.

Strickland shocked the world by defeating Israel Adesanya for the UFC middleweight belt at UFC 293 last year. The loss to du Plessis snapped a three-fight winning streak.

Du Plessis is expected to face Adesanya for his first middleweight title defense later this year. If Strickland defeats Costa, and du Plessis is victorious, a rematch could be on the horizon.

Costa is looking to regain the form that made him one of the most terrifying middleweights in the UFC earlier in his tenure. If his social media antics are any indication, he’s stopping at nothing to try to get in Strickland’s head ahead of fight night.
