Paulo Costa criticizes UFC for not awarding him performance bonus

Paulo Costa expressed frustration after UFC 328 for not receiving a performance bonus while Josh Hockit earned a double bonus. Costa argued that he finished his fight against an undefeated Russian opponent early after three rounds of hard striking, while Hockit's heavyweight bout, though excellent, went the distance. Costa messaged Dana White and Hunter Campbell claiming the decision was unfair and that he deserves the bonus more than Hockit. He stated he trusts UFC leadership will reconsider their decision and correct what he believes was a mistake.
