Costa calls for title shot against Ankalaev after Ulberg injury

Paulo Costa has stated he is ready to fight for the title against Magomed Ankalaev. Costa revealed that Carlos Ulberg will be out for a year following surgery, with Ulberg himself confirming this in a conversation yesterday. With Ulberg sidelined, Costa believes the UFC should create either a temporary or vacant title fight. Costa asserts that he should be next in line for a championship bout and plans to be involved in the title picture.
