Having recently missed out on an opportunity to face fellow top middleweight contender Robert Whittaker at UFC 284, Paulo Costa looks like he might be eyeing another opponent closer to the twilight side of their career. Having defeated former champion Luke Rockhold back at UFC 278, the Brazilian recently helped promote the idea of a bout against ex-Strikeforce welterweight champion Nick Diaz.
On his personal Twitter account, Paulo posted a fan-made poster of a potential UFC 289 card, featuring former double champion Conor McGregor against Michael Chandler as the headliner. Meanwhile, ‘Borrachinha’’s fight against Diaz would be the co-main event of the evening.
