SALT LAKE CITY – Paulo Costa says he’s on the verge of fighting out his UFC contract.
The former UFC middleweight title challenger revealed on Wednesday that he enters Saturday’s co-main event bout against Luke Rockhold at UFC 278 with one fight left on his UFC deal. Ahead of an important moment in his career, Costa (13-2 MMA, 5-2 UFC) can’t say for certain if he’ll re-sign with the promotion he has fought with since 2017.
“Let’s see, we need to talk (with the UFC),” Costa told reporters at the UFC 278 media day. “It’s just business. It’s business for me, and we need to talk.”
