Quick read
Paulo Costa issued an apology to Russian fans following his controversial comments at a press conference. The Brazilian middleweight stated that his negative remarks were specifically directed at Khamzat Chimaev, whom he referred to as "that Chechen gourmet," rather than Russians in general. Costa explained that he loves Russian people and has Russian friends living in Germany. He noted that Chimaev is more Chechen than Russian, though they are part of the same country. Costa also mentioned that he has now defeated two Russian fighters and hopes to fight Chimaev next for a third victory over a Russian opponent.
