Costa: Brazilians underpaid in UFC

Former UFC middleweight title contender Paulo Costa complained that the promotion paid too little to fighters from Brazil.

“I think they are offering too low numbers for Brazilians. I don't know what they are guided by. Maybe they think, “These bastards live in Brazil, in the jungle. They don't need money. Their currency is worth about five times less than a dollar. So let's pay them the damn change. The mentality of the Brazilians says: "OK, I agree to your terms." I made this mistake. I know that many Brazilians also do it. But this is a dishonest business…”, Costa said.

Recall that earlier Paulo Costa said that he did not want to fight Whittaker because of the low fee.
