Paulo Costa lost to Israel Adesanya at UFC 253 with the middleweight title on the line and months later he revealed why he may have been defeated via technical knockout. Costa said in a video on Sunday that it was leg cramps and a bottle of wine that were contributing factors in his performance in the octagon. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM "I was kind of drunk [when] I fought, maybe, on hangover. I couldn’t sleep because of the [leg] cramps. Keep in mind that the fight happens at 9 a.m. [local time], we have to wake up at 5 to get ready, stretch, wrap the hands. The UFC told us to wake up at 5 in the morning to go to the arena to fight. I hadn’t slept until 2:30," Costa said, via MMA Fighting . "It was my mistake and I don’t blame anyone else, it was something I chose [to do], but, in order to try to sleep, because I had to sleep since I was awake for 24 hours, I had wine, too much wine, a bottle [of wine] to try to black out. I had a glass and didn’t work. Two glasses, it didn’t work. Half bottle, didn’t work. I had it all." CONOR MCGREGOR SOMBER AFTER UFC 257 LOSS: 'IT'S A BITTER PILL TO SWALLOW' Costa previously admitted that he should have tried to get the match postponed. Costa came into the fight undefeated as well. He made himself one of the biggest middleweight contenders after wins over Yoel Romero, Uriah Hall and Johny Hendricks. He was 13-0 overall coming into the fight against Adesanya.

The Gifts Our Senior Editor Is Contemplating for Her Anniversary
Every month, we Strategist editors tell you about the best things we’ve recently bought for ourselves. But what about the things we wish other people would buy for us? It’s a ritual for us to share our holiday wish lists , but during the rest of the year we’re also having birthdays, housewarming parties, weddings , babies , and more. So now we’re spilling about the gifts we’d like for those milestones, as well. This time: senior editor Margaret Rhodes on anniversary gifts. The only person I know who’s pickier than a Strat editor is the one with whom I’m celebrating a three-year anniversary. The man will drink Yuengling out of a faded wedding koozie, but to shop with him is to analyze details most of us pass over — the way thread loops through a button, or the shade of rubber on the sole of a Vans shoe . I won’t even buy a houseplant without consulting him, so in honor of our anniversary — something that’s a mutual celebration, anyway — any gift-giving we do will be something we (methodically) choose and go in on together. Here’s what I’m considering. Koldfront 18-Bottle Free Standing Dual Zone Wine Cooler $209 $209 I never used to keep wine in the house. Buying just one bottle at a time gave me the illusion of handling money wisely, even if I would return to the same wine shop two days later, for the next bottle. I’ve grown up enough to keep a handful of bottles around the apartment, and it’s much nicer. What would be even better would be to protect them from the fluctuating temperatures of a home without central air. Some slightly more mature friends of ours got a wine cooler, and it’s such a luxury to be at home with wine that’s 62 degrees. We just rounded up the best-reviewed wine refrigerators on Amazon, and looking at them, I think plasticky-looking ones with chrome racks are out. We are a wooden-rack kind of home. This dual-zone model — one zone for reds, another for chilled reds and ...
Trump and his CPAC fans lead GOP down a losing path
Scott Jennings, a CNN contributor and Republican campaign adviser, is a former special assistant to President George W. Bush and a former campaign adviser to Sen. Mitch McConnell. He is a partner at RunSwitch Public Relations in Louisville, Kentucky. Follow him on Twitter @ScottJenningsKY . The opinions expressed in this commentary are his own. View more opinion articles on CNN. Scott Jennings (CNN) Donald Trump's return to the national stage at the Conservative Political Action Convention (CPAC) was about what I expected: In a two-track speech where he was intermittently bored by a teleprompter and amused by his own adlibs, he teased a third presidential run, came home to his animating issue, immigration (which was inexplicably absent from his 2020 reelection campaign) and continued the farce that he actually won last November. He even ran through a "hit list" of Republicans to be ousted from the party. Of note was Trump shooting down the idea of a third party, which is actually a good impulse. Republicans cannot win with a fractured party, nor can they win if it gets any smaller. I don't understand the quest by some Republicans to shrink the party. The GOP just lost the White House by nearly 7 million votes and hasn't won the national popular vote in a presidential election with someone other than a Bush since 1984. Republicans lost the White House and don't control either house of Congress in Washington, despite the relative equilibrium in the congress. Yet, there was Sen. Ted Cruz at CPAC a couple of days before Trump, trying to excommunicate people he derided as "country club Republicans" -- Republicans who, I guess, Cruz finds distasteful for their incessant golfing and love of private dining. Is he unaware that Trump currently lives at a country club and owns a bunch of them? Cruz copied Rep. Jim Jordan with these statements, who the other day declared that the Republican Party no longer tolerates ...
