Former UFC middleweight title challenger Paulo Costa reported that he had surgery on his elbow in mid-September.
Let us remind you that on October 21 at the UFC 294 tournament in Abu Dhabi, UAE, the Brazilian will fight Khamzat Chimaev.
“How strong are you? You will never truly know until you pass the trial by fire. I had surgery three weeks ago and had 10 stitches. But I know how strong I am, I continue to improve and overcome myself. That doesn't stop me and I continue sparring and everything else. I am very happy that God has given me exceptional health and surrounded me with great people,” Costa wrote on Instagram.
