Paulo Costa’s coach Eric Albarracin is a go big or go home kinda guy, and the Pan American Wrestling champion plans to push ‘Borrachinha’ for a second UFC title after the undefeated Brazilian beats Israel Adesanya at UFC 253.
Speaking to ESPN ahead of UFC 253, Albarracin revealed that Costa plans to ‘erase’ Adesanya and then move up in weight to challenge Jon Jones for the light heavyweight title.
‘Bones’ actually vacated his title in August, but Albarracin says the former champ ‘can run but he can’t hide’.
“I would say that the initial goal, the main goal right now is going after Israel Adesanya, getting that belt,” Albarracin said, per Essentially Sports.
