Paulo Costa volunteers to fight Magomed Ankalaev for vacant light heavyweight title

Paulo Costa has expressed his willingness to compete for the light heavyweight championship against Magomed Ankalaev. Costa revealed that he spoke with an unnamed fighter (referred to as "Carlos") who will be out for a year due to surgery. With that fighter sidelined, Costa believes the UFC should organize a fight for either an interim or vacant title. He stated that he plans to participate in such a bout and that he should be next in line to fight for the belt.
