5 Most ripped UFC fighters

#4 Paulo Costa

Paulo Costa is absolutely jacked

Having competed in the sport of Mixed Martial Arts since 2012, Paulo Costa is currently on an impressive 4-fight win streak in the UFC, with all of his Octagon victories coming by way of TKO. "The Eraser" is undeniably one of the most ripped fighters in the UFC today, and has in fact been on the receiving end of way too much negativity and seemingly unwarranted criticism for his physique.

Intriguingly enough, most of Costa's detractors allege that the young Brazilian prospect has been engaging in the use of illegal steroids/PEDs (Performance Enhancing Drugs), which is the secret behind his insanely sculpted body. Meanwhile, others criticize Costa, asserting that all the unnecessary muscle mass that this young man carries, will only serve to diminish his cardio in a long fight.

Well, Costa's physique and training routines have been paying dividends thus far, and it's just like the saying goes – why fix something, if it isn't broken! Moreover, Costa has often explained that he likes to appear big and intimidating, which often times helps him mentally beat his opponents well before the fight has even started.
