Paulo Costa upset over Hawkit getting double bonus while he got nothing

Paulo Costa expressed strong dissatisfaction after Josh Hawkit received a double bonus for his fight with Curtis Blaydes while Costa received no bonus at all. Costa argued that while Hawkit had an excellent fight, Costa himself finished his opponent early after three rounds of heavy punishment against an undefeated Russian fighter with a 16-0 record. He felt he deserved the performance bonus more than Hawkit. Costa was so upset about the decision that he contacted Dana White and Hunter Campbell directly, stating he believes the decision was unfair and hopes they will reconsider it.
