The UFC had announced that Paulo Costa would be taking on Jared Cannonier in a main event fight for a show they had scheduled on August 21. However, Costa recently took to Twitter to say he never signed a contract to face Cannonier.
In his social media posts Costa also claimed that he was not being paid enough money to feature in a main event. He also compared his pay to the millions currently being brought in by YouTubers like Jake and Logan Paul.
Yesterday ESPN announced Costa was out of the fight with Cannonier, assuming he was ever ‘in’ it.
