Paulo Costa demands performance bonus after UFC win over undefeated Russian

Paulo Costa expressed frustration over not receiving a performance bonus despite finishing his fight against an undefeated Russian opponent with a 16-0 record. Costa criticized the decision to award Josh Hewett a double bonus for his bout with Curtis Blaydes, arguing that while Hewett's heavyweight fight was excellent, Costa's three-round dominant finish was more deserving. Costa revealed he contacted Dana White and Hunter Campbell directly about what he considers an unjust decision. He stated he hopes UFC leadership will reconsider and correct what he believes was a mistake in bonus allocation.
