Alden is actually pretty slick and does a great job getting to legs. He's super long for the division which i actually think could work against him here. That bend over single leg is going to be hard ot get against someone as compact as Costa which means he will be stuck striking and while his striking is decent, he will be too slow and too hittable for Costa. Costa is the pick, but another wide odd spot here at 3-1
Alessandro Costa
Alessandro Costa is a solid striker with pretty good takedown defense. His striking style is a high tight guard and patience. He will wait and find his spots. When he decides to throw, he throws with 100% intent and does a really nice job of small combinations. He will leap in with a left to the body then a right up top to the head. He has very real power and insane leg kicks, but can be low volume. He is coming off the finish win over Kevin Borjas.
Alden Coria
Alden Coria is a busy grappler with a night single leg. He snatches legs up with a slight bend at the waist and immediately runs the pipe. On the ground he is busy on top and has great control. His scrambles are slick and he does a good job snatching up submissions. While he is primarily a grappler, he does have solid striking with sneaky power and a full arsenal of knees, kicks and elbows.
