Although the Brazilian was not very fond of the pairing at first, it seems a bout between Paulo Costa and former middleweight champion Luke Rockhold will take place in the Octagon.
According to Combate’s report, Rockhold is returning from a three-year hiatus to face ‘Borrachinha’ on card scheduled to take place on August 20.
In his last outing, Rockhold got knocked out by former light heavyweight champion Jan Blachowicz, back in June 2019. The loss put the 37-year-old on a two-fight losing skid, with a knockout loss to Yoel Romero before that, in February 2018.
