Paulo Costa vs. Khamzat Chimaev off UFC 294? Dana White aims to have answer soon

LAS VEGAS – UFC 294 has a new main event, and very soon, it could have a new co-main event should the cards fall a certain way.

One day after Paulo Costa revealed he recently had arm surgery, UFC CEO Dana White indicated the fight vs. Khamzat Chimaev could be in jeopardy. He hopes to seek clarity in the coming hours. The pay-per-view event takes place in 11 days at Etihad Arena on Yas Island, Abu Dhabi.

“Yeah, it’s possible,” White said at a DWCS 66 news conference. “… (I should know) very soon. Very soon. Unless another f*cking big mouth pops up out of somewhere. Yeah, hopefully within a couple hours I’ll have an answer for you.”
