How to bet Costa
Paulo Costa was once one of the best middleweight prospects in the UFC. His aggressive style resonated with fans, and he earned a title shot in 2020 against Israel Adesanya. "The Last Stylebender" promptly knocked him out, and Costa has lost three of his four UFC bouts since.
The Brazilian's do-or-die style leads him landing 6.22 significant strikes per minute. Although, he also stands in the fire far too much, as Costa absorbs 6.56 strikers per minute. He'll need to clean up his defensive boxing to pull off the upset at UFC 318.
Costa will have to stay out of the pocket and pick his moments in order to defeat the surging Kapylov.
How to Bet Kopylov
Roman Kopylov has won six of his last seven fights to surge up the UFC middleweight rankings. The Russian-born sambo artist always puts on a show in the Octagon, and has stopped his opponent in five of those six victories. In fact, Kopylov has won 12 of his 14 career victories by KO/TKO and will be looking to add Paulo Costa to his collection of knockouts at UFC 318.
Kopylov never takes a step back. His relentless pace and pressure leave opponents nowhere to hide in the Octagon. Kopylov's crisp boxing boxing is his main weapon, and you can bet he'll leave it all on the line on Saturday night.

Costa vs Kopylov Prediction
Costa will need to be on his toes in the UFC 318 co-main event. To have any hope of pulling off the upset, he'll need to expertly navigate the ring, and slow Kopylov down with body shots early.
Having said that, I think the Brazilian gets pulled into a striking match, leaving the door open for Kopylov to finish the fight. A Kopylov knockout is the likely outcome.
Pick: Roman Kopylov by KO
