Paulo Costa has only fought three times in the UFC, but that’s enough to convince him that he’s the one to bring Brazilian MMA back to where it once was.
Days after knocking out former welterweight champion Johny Hendricks at UFC 217 in New York, the Brazilian middleweight spoke with Ariel Helwani on Thursday’s special edition of The MMA Hour, and said he will follow the steps of the legends of the last generation.
"We need a new hero in Brazil because we had many legends in the last generations, but now we need to renew this,” Costa said.
