Former US President Donald Trump congratulated Paulo Costa on social media following his victory at UFC 327 in Miami, predicting he will become a future UFC champion. Trump stated he enjoyed speaking with Costa outside the octagon after the Brazilian's win. This marks Trump's second public endorsement of Costa after the fight. Costa moved up to light heavyweight for the bout and earned a knockout victory over Azamat Murzakanov. The attention from Trump adds to the momentum of Costa's performance and potential move to the 205-pound division.
