Costa is contesting the terms of the final bout of his UFC contract. “Borrachinha” has criticized the promotion for offering five-round fights without additional compensation. The Brazilian is keen to fulfill his contract and has hinted at competing elsewhere on social media.
Paulo Costa hints at a fight outside the UFC while disputing the terms of the contract for the last fight
Costa (16-4) said he hasn’t received a recent update from the UFC, but remained firm about competing this year.
“Nothing from the UFC,” Costa Xs wrote. “I’m going to fight at an event at the end of the year. I’m in great shape and at my best. I’m doing what I love – fighting somewhere.”
Costa scores victories Roman Kopylov and previously undefeated Azamat Murzakanov. Previously, he was looking for an interim light heavyweight title fight as champion Carlos Ulberg is recovering from injury, but the match did not take place.
