Quick read
Paulo Costa issued an apology to Russian fans for comments he made at a press conference, clarifying that his animosity is directed specifically at Khamzat Chimaev rather than Russians in general. Costa admitted his earlier statement about hating Russians was poorly worded and taken out of context. He explained that he was referring to the 'Chechen gourmet,' meaning Chimaev, and emphasized his respect for Russian people, noting he knows several living in Germany. Costa mentioned this would be his second victory over a Russian fighter and expressed hope to make it three by facing Chimaev in the future.
