Jan Blachowicz claims Paulo Costa turned down UFC 288 fight: ‘How much juice does he need?’

Former champion Jan Blachowicz has claimed he was offered a fight with Brazillian brawler Paulo Costa, only for “Borachina” to turn it down.

The former king of the 205lb division, who hails from Poland, has been without a fight since his uninspiring draw against Magomed Ankalaev. Blachowicz has set off the rumor mill about a potential switch to 185lbs, believing he can once again be the man to stop current number one Israel Adesanya, who he holds a victory over at 205lbs.

As a welcome to the division, he was apparently offered the withholder of the “Secret Juice”, Paulo Costa.
