Melquizael Costa's Knockout Ends Year on a High

Melquizael Costa just had a year to remember. He ended it with a bang, knocking out Morgan Charriere in the first round of their UFC fight. Costa's left head kick was so powerful that it left Charriere unconscious in just 1 minute and 14 seconds. This wasn't just any win; it was Costa's fourth straight victory. He's now on a roll, with six wins in a row at featherweight. Costa is making a name for himself. Only two fighters have more consecutive wins in this weight class. His performance this year has put him in elite company. He's one of only two UFC fighters to go 4-0 in 2025. But Costa isn't stopping here. He's got big plans for 2026. He wants to fight his way into the top 15, then the top 10, and eventually challenge for the belt. This win was a statement. It showed that Costa is a force to be reckoned with. He's been working hard, and it's paying off. His next fights could be even bigger. The UFC world is watching to see what he does next.
