Paulo Costa volunteers to fight Magomed Ankalaev for vacant title

Paulo Costa has announced his readiness to compete for a championship title against Magomed Ankalaev. Costa revealed he spoke with Carlos (presumed to be the current champion or top contender) yesterday, who confirmed he will be out for a year due to required surgery. With Carlos sidelined, Costa believes the UFC should stage a fight for either an interim or vacant title. Costa is positioning himself as the next contender and states he should be fighting for the belt next. The specific division was not mentioned in the post, though context suggests light heavyweight.
