Costa asks to give him a fight with Chimaev

Brazilian middleweight Paulo Costa once again stated that Khamzat Chimaev doesn't deserve a title shot. Paulo asked to give him a fight with Khamzat.

“Correct me if I’m wrong... People want to see: Chechen vs. Paulo Costa, du Plessis vs. Sean. Giving him a title is undeserved. He has fought 0 fighters in the top 50 middleweights. Rebook me for a fight with him, and give Sean du Plessis,” the fighter said.

Let us remind you that Costa and Chimaev were supposed to fight at UFC 294, but the Brazilian withdrew from the fight due to a staphylococcal infection.
