Costa: “I strongly ask the UFC to arrange a fight with Chimaev in Saudi Arabia”

Former UFC middleweight title challenger Paulo Costa does not give up his desire to compete with the undefeated prospect of the division Khamzat Chimaev.

“I strongly ask the UFC to give us a fight with Chimaev in Saudi Arabia (the Fight Night series show is scheduled for March 2, editor’s note). I can't imagine a better main event for a tournament in the Middle East. I'd love to kick his ass there. But, apparently, the gourmet Chen-Chen is afraid to mess with me,” the Brazilian wrote in X.

Let us remind you that Costa was supposed to fight with Chimaev on October 21 at the UFC 294 tournament in Abu Dhabi, but 10 days before the fight he withdrew due to an exacerbation of a staphylococcal infection.
