Costa: “After the fight with Whittaker, I will fight for the title”

Brazilian UFC middleweight Paulo Costa I am confident that victory in the upcoming fight with the Australian Robert Whittaker will allow him to once again fight for the championship title.

The confrontation between these fighters will be the co-main event of the UFC 298 tournament, which will take place on the night of February 18 in Anaheim, USA.

“Of course, after my fight against Whittaker, I will fight for the title. I don’t see any other way for myself. If you look at our division, you'll see that there are several guys who fight the way people like to fight. One of them is me. After defeating Robert, I will be next in line.

I just hope he shows the best version of himself. I'm ready to show that I'm different from the guy you guys saw in the fights against Vettori and Rockhold. I have seriously improved. I became faster. “I’m more dangerous than before,” MMA Junkie quotes Costa as saying.
