Paulo Costa agrees terms on new UFC contract, in talks to fight Khamzat Chimaev in return

One-time UFC middleweight title challenger, Paulo Costa has confirmed he has agreed financial terms on a new four-fight deal with the Dana White-led organization, following infamous contract woes between the two in the last year.

Costa, the current #5 ranked middleweight contender, was most recently expected to fight former undisputed division champion, Robert Whittaker back in February at UFC 284, however, the matchup between the duo fell to the wayside.

The Belo Horizonte native snapped his two-fight losing skid back in August of last year against former undisputed middleweight champion, Luke Rockhold, landing a unanimous decision victory over the veteran ex-titleholder.
