Costa Stops Nicoll with Body Shot

Alessandro Costa (15-5 MMA, 3-3 UFC) proved his versatility beyond grappling by finishing Stewart Nicoll (8-3 MMA, 0-3 UFC) with a big left hook to the body for a TKO stoppage at 4:56 of Round 2 in their flyweight prelim fight at Meta APEX.

Despite his Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu foundation, Costa has now recorded three TKOs in as many UFC wins. The Australian Nicoll continues to search for his first UFC victory after three attempts.
