Paulo Henrique Costa has been nothing short of sensational in his two Ultimate Fighting Championship appearances, and his climb on the middleweight ladder will in a matter of weeks bring him face to face with a former UFC titleholder.
Part of a select group as one of 34 undefeated fighters on the UFC roster with at least one victory inside the Octagon, Costa will put his 10-0 record on the line against onetime welterweight champion Johny Hendricks in a featured UFC 217 pairing on Nov. 4 at Madison Square Garden in New York.
