It sounds like Paulo Costa is eager to resume his UFC career. Now that the middleweight has come to an agreement with the promotion regarding his new contract, ‘Borrachinha’ feels ready to start thinking about who he is going to fight next.
In an interview with Ag Fight, Costa explained that the man who would make the most sense for him to fight next is none other than Khamzat Chimaev, especially if they could fight in Abu Dhabi, in the United Arab Emirates. If that pairing can’t be made, Costa believes a fight against former champion Robert Whittaker would also be fitting, since the pair was supposed to meet in February before Borrachinha withdrew.
