Costa demands bonus after finishing Volkov, criticizes Hockit's double bonus

Paulo Costa expressed strong dissatisfaction that Josh Hockit received a double bonus for his fight with Curtis Blaydes while Costa received no bonus at all. Costa argued he deserved the Performance of the Night bonus for finishing Russian fighter Volkov, who entered 16-0. Costa stated he hit Volkov hard for three rounds and finished the fight early, while calling Hockit's heavyweight bout one of the best he's seen. Costa revealed he was so upset that he wrote to Dana White and Hunter Campbell about what he considers an injustice. He said he trusts UFC leadership will review the decision and correct what he believes was an error. Costa added that his anger made him want to destroy everything.
