Paulo Costa upset over Josh Howitt receiving double bonus while he got none

Paulo Costa expressed frustration that Josh Howitt received both Fight of the Night and Performance of the Night bonuses while Costa received nothing after his recent victory. Costa argued that Howitt's fight with Curtis Blaydes was excellent but questioned why Howitt received two bonuses. Costa emphasized that he finished his fight early against an undefeated Russian opponent with a 16-0 record, delivering hard strikes for three rounds. He stated he became so upset about the perceived injustice that he contacted Dana White and Hunter Campbell directly. Costa said the situation filled him with terrible feelings and made him want to destroy everything. He expressed hope that UFC leadership would reconsider the decision, calling it a mistake and stating he deserved the Performance of the Night bonus over Howitt.
