UFC Vegas 32 is stacked from all angles, but who will be given the honors of Fight of the Night?
UFC Vegas 32 is a fun-filled fight card from top to bottom, with many candidates for a potential fight of the night. However, there is one fight that sticks out as being the true stand-out in the running for a $50,000 performance bonus.
Among the four UFC men’s bantamweight fights on the card on Saturday, the most intriguing one, beyond the main event is the prospect vs prospect bout that is Adrian Yanez vs. Randy Costa.
Yanez is riding a six-fight winning streak that dates back to his Fury FC days in 2019 and is 3-0 since making his debut on Dana White’s Contender Series in August 2020.
Costa is just 6-1 as a professional fighter but is coming off back-to-back highlight-reel knockouts over Journey Newson and Boston Salmon.
He is known for being a wild man in the Octagon, and his unpredictable style seems tailor-made for a very interesting clash of styles with the deadly boxer Yanez.
Why Yanez vs. Costa will be Fight of the Night at UFC Vegas 32
Since their fight was announced in early April, both Yanez and Costa have done everything they can to promote this Saturday’s UFC Vegas 32 event. The two even went as far as jousting on social media, in a friendly back and forth over their favorite junk food.
Beyond the Twitter antics, the meeting between these two up-and-coming bantamweights is looking to be an outright firefight. Yanez is a precission boxer who has added a wrinkle of grappling and kick-boxing to his god-given striking ability. While Costa may not be at the same level as Yanez when it comes to his striking mechanics. What he lacks in technical ability, he makes up for in raw power and willingness to engage.
Yanez has developed incredible footwork in the cage and has looked even more aggressive since making his UFC debut. His refusal to step backward colliding with Costa’s wild man fight style is the exact equation that makes for this bout to be a sure-fire candidate for Fight of the Night at UFC Vegas 32.
