Quick read
Paulo Costa expressed strong frustration over not receiving a performance bonus despite his knockout victory over Jairzinho Rozenstruik, while Josh Howitt earned double bonuses for his fight with Curtis Blaydes. Costa argued that he finished an undefeated Russian opponent (16-0) and dominated for three rounds, making him more deserving than Howitt. The Brazilian middleweight was so upset that he personally messaged Dana White and Hunter Campbell to contest the decision. Costa characterized the situation as unfair and stated it caused him extreme emotional distress. He expressed hope and trust that UFC leadership would reconsider and correct what he views as a mistake in the bonus allocation.
