Costa wants to fight Chimaev in January

Dmitriy Kel Nov. 7, 2023, 12:30 a.m.

Former UFC middleweight title challenger Paulo Costa does not give up the desire to measure strength with the undefeated Khamzat Chimaev.

Costa would like to fight Chimaev on January 20 at UFC 297 in Toronto, Canada. In the main event of this event, division champion Sean Strickland will defend his title against Dricus du Plessis.

“Give me a Chechen for dinner in January with some secret juice. There is no reason to protect him from me, make him sign the contract again, otherwise he will still avoid it. Let's go, damn it! - Costa wrote in X.

Let us remind you that Chimaev and Costa were supposed to meet on October 21 as part of the UFC 294 show, but a few days before the fight, the Brazilian withdrew due to a staphylococcal infection. He was replaced by Kamaru Usman, whom Chimaev defeated by majority decision.
