Where it breaks. Ground game is the soft spot (34, D). Thin offensive ground game. Wins come standing; once taken down this fighter is hunting a stand-up, not a sweep chain. Opponents who force wrestling and keep the fight on the fence have historically been the ones who make this résumé leak. Losses lean decision more often than a highlight — the issue is usually control of minutes, not a glass jaw.
The book has no per-fight UFC rows for Costa yet. This scouting card is carried by career FightMetric rates and the win-method split — treat the reaction and agility marks as wider intervals.

Eats more than a championship pocket should. High SApM or a porous guard will get taxed against power.
Limited counter threat. Opponents can miss without paying a finishing tax.
Average-plus reactions. Gets touched, but rarely frozen in place when the shot or the shot-to-takedown comes.
Heavy or economical. Combinations are chosen, not sprayed — opponents can time the entries.
Hips arrive late. A committed wrestler will get them down; the question is what happens next.
