Robert Whittaker, former UFC middleweight champion, spoke about his plan for the upcoming fight with the Brazilian Paulo Costoi, a former contender for the championship title in this weight. Whittaker was succinct, saying he wanted to come, destroy Costa and go home.
“I want to fly to the USA, destroy Paulo Costa and return home. That's the plan. This is my plan of action,” the fighter said.
The fight between Paulo Costa and Robert Whittaker will take place on February 17 in Anaheim, California, as part of the 298th UFC event. This event will be headlined by a fight between the organization's featherweight champion Alex Volkanovski and challenger Ilia Topuria.
Let us remember that in his last fight, Whittaker lost to Du Plessis ahead of schedule, and Costa won by decision against Rockhold.
