Former UFC middleweight title challenger Paulo Costa revealed when he wants his next fight.

"I got my hand broken during the fight with Rockhold. I thought I had a ligament problem, but it turned out to be a broken metacarpal bone. I really didn't want that, as I was planning to stay in shape and come back in 50-60 days.

I will be back in December or January. On January 21 there will be a tournament in Rio de Janeiro, maybe I'll fight there. But it will be up to the UFC," said the Brazilian on his YouTube channel.

Recall that August 21, at UFC 278, Costa defeated Luke Rockhold by unanimous decision.
