En 8 victoires professionnelles, le compte est simple : 8 KO, z\u00e9ro d\u00e9cision. Un palmar\u00e8s qui dit tout sur son style \u2014 et sur son intention chaque fois qu&rsquo;il entre dans la cage.<\/p>\n<h3>Des gants de boxe \u00e0 l&rsquo;octogone<\/h3>\n<p>Costa commence la boxe en sixi\u00e8me, encha\u00eene avec le kickboxing en quatri\u00e8me, et lutte au lyc\u00e9e de Taunton. Il passe ensuite par le jiu-jitsu br\u00e9silien avant de fusionner tout \u00e7a en MMA. Apr\u00e8s Massasoit Community College, il int\u00e8gre Bridgewater State University en science politique \u2014 mais c&rsquo;est le camp Lauzon MMA, puis American Top Team et Sanford MMA \u00e0 partir de 2020, qui fa\u00e7onnent vraiment son profil de combat.<\/p>\n<p>Ses d\u00e9buts pro en 2018 sous la banni\u00e8re Cage Titans sont sans \u00e9quivoque : quatre combats, quatre adversaires exp\u00e9di\u00e9s au premier round. Le plus rapide ? Kenny Lewis, pli\u00e9 en 11 secondes le 18 ao\u00fbt 2018.<\/p>\n<h3>Le passage UFC : des \u00e9clairs et des temp\u00eates<\/h3>\n<p>Costa d\u00e9barque \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC le 13 avril 2019 \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC 236 face \u00e0 Brandon Davis \u2014 et perd par \u00e9tranglement arri\u00e8re au deuxi\u00e8me round, premier accroc \u00e0 son bilan. La r\u00e9ponse arrive six mois plus tard, le 18 octobre 2019 \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC on ESPN 6 : Boston Salmon, TKO au premier round, 2h15 de combat.<\/p>\n<p>Son moment le plus marquant vient le 19 septembre 2020 \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC Fight Night 178. Face \u00e0 Journey Newson, Costa balance un head kick d\u00e9vastateur au bout de 41 secondes du premier round. Performance de la Nuit r\u00e9compens\u00e9e \u2014 et bien m\u00e9rit\u00e9e.<\/p>\n<p>Puis vient la s\u00e9rie noire. Adrian Yanez le stoppe par TKO au deuxi\u00e8me round en juillet 2021 (UFC Vegas 32). Tony Kelley fait de m\u00eame par KO au deuxi\u00e8me round \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC 269 en d\u00e9cembre 2021. Guido Cannetti l&rsquo;\u00e9trangle en 64 secondes \u00e0 l&rsquo;UFC Fight Night 211 le 1er octobre 2022. Trois d\u00e9faites cons\u00e9cutives et la porte de la plus grande organisation mondiale se ferme.<\/p>\n<h3>Apr\u00e8s l&rsquo;UFC : le bare-knuckle comme nouveau terrain<\/h3>\n<p>Loin de raccrocher, Costa rebondit vers le bare-knuckle MMA. Le 10 novembre 2023, il s&rsquo;impose par KO d\u00e8s le premier round contre Jason Knight \u00e0 Gamebred Bareknuckle MMA 6 \u2014 un finish spectaculaire qui lui ouvre les portes de la discipline. Sa rencontre revanche avec Brandon Davis en novembre 2024 se conclut en no-contest. En juin 2025, il fait ses d\u00e9buts en boxe pieds-nus (BKFC) avec une victoire par TKO au premier round face \u00e0 Nick Burgos.<\/p>\n<p>Bilan professionnel actuel : 8 victoires (toutes avant la limite), 4 d\u00e9faites, 1 no-contest. Aucun adversaire ne l&rsquo;a jamais vu se battre pour les points \u2014 dans un sens comme dans l&rsquo;autre.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sources-article\"><strong>Sources :<\/strong> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Randy_Costa\">Wikipedia<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/theallstar.io\/ufc-fighter-record\/the-zohan-randy-costa\/\">The AllStar<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/mma\/news-former-ufc-star-randy-costa-reveals-continue-bare-knuckle-fighting-spectacular-debut-gamebred-fc-6\">Sportskeeda<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Randy \u00ab\u00a0The Zohan\u00a0\u00bb Costa, bantamweight am\u00e9ricain de Taunton (MA) : 8 victoires en MMA, toutes par KO.
