Overview

• Broadcast and social video confirmed his big toe was caught in the fence in Round 2, tearing the skin between his toes on his left foot.
• His movement was visibly compromised and he was stopped 47 seconds into Round 3 by UFC debutant Alden Coria.
• Costa repeatedly looked down at the foot during the fight, then received post-fight treatment and left with stitches between his toes.
• He was originally scheduled to face Edgar Chairez before Coria stepped in on short notice at Noche UFC in San Antonio.
• The setback drops Costa to 2-2 in the UFC after returning from knee surgery and a year-plus layoff.
