Randy Costa never left it in the hands of the judges
Interestingly, Costa has never fought to a decision in his career. All his wins and losses have come within the distance. 'The Zohan' had a stellar run prior to joining the UFC. He was on a four-fight win streak, having finished all his opponents in the first round via KO or TKO.
After losing in his promotional debut, Costa bounced back with a victory over Boston Salmon at UFC on ESPN 6. He ended up winning the fight in the first round via TKO. He then faced Journey Newson at UFC Fight Night 178, finishing the fight via head kick in under a minute.
Following his victories, Costa went on to face Adrian Yanez at UFC Vegas 32. He lost the fight via TKO in the second round. In his penultimate fight in the promotion, Randy Costa faced Tony Kelley at UFC 269. He got finished in the second round via elbow strikes.
Despite how his career has played out to this point, 'The Zohan' has never been in a boring fight. He has either finished his opponents or gotten finished within the first two rounds of every bout he competed in.
