Alessandro Costa executed the perfect game plan against Jimmy Flick on Saturday at UFC on ESPN 46.
After ruthlessly attacking the leg of Flick (16-7 MMA, 1-2 UFC) with kicks over the first round, Costa (13-3 MMA, 1-1 UFC) took advantage of a sloppy takedown from his compromised opponent in the second before finishing the job with elbows and punches on the ground for the TKO stoppage at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas.

“I’m an athlete from the UFC, whatever they tell me, I fight,” Costa told Paul Felder through an interpreter in his post-fight interview. “I heard the UFC is going to be Brazil. … It would be an honor to fight in the UFC again if I can.”
