He comes back after such a long time at 37 to fight one of the most fiercest competitors in this division, and gave it all.

He talked a lot before the fight... and he fought horribly. He put his hands down when he wasn't even winning. He failed to capitalize on every takedown. He didn't follow up his kicks with strikes... Costa wasn't looking too good either, skill-wise... You can tell both of them will never be UFC champs. Just my opinion. And if you think Luke is one of the most skilled fighters, then most of the UFC roster is skilled by your definition. How you gonna throw dumbass kicks when you know you don't have a gas tank? It's just dumbass fighting IMO.
