Paulo Costa demands bonus after Josh Howitt receives double awards at UFC event

Paulo Costa expressed extreme dissatisfaction that Josh Howitt received two bonuses for his fight with Curtis Blaydes while Costa received nothing. Costa argued that while Howitt had an excellent heavyweight fight, his own performance against an undefeated Russian opponent with a 16-0 record deserved recognition. He finished his opponent early and dominated for three rounds, believing he merited the performance bonus instead of Howitt. Costa was so upset he contacted Dana White and Hunter Campbell, stating the decision made him feel terrible and angry. He expressed hope and trust that UFC leadership will reconsider the decision, believing they made a mistake.
