He stated that he regrets saying "I hate these fucking Russians" and clarified it was a misunderstanding. Costa expressed his appreciation for Russian people, mentioning he knows some Russians living in Germany. He noted that he has now defeated two Russian opponents and hopes to face Chimaev next, whom he considers more Chechen than Russian despite being from the same country.
