Paulo Costa vows to ‘Take heads off’ in next fight after loss to Sean Strickland at UFC 302: ‘I have the power’

Paulo Costa plans to change the way he fights following his UFC 302 loss to Sean Strickland.

Costa was coming off a decision loss to Robert Whittaker back in February and was making a rather quick turnaround in his standards to face Strickland in a five-round co-main event on Saturday at UFC 302. Early on Paulo Costa was doing well, but as the fight played out, Strickland began to take over.
