Paulo Costa has stated he is ready to compete for the title against Magomed Ankalaev following news of Carlos Ulberg's injury. Costa revealed that he spoke with Ulberg yesterday, who confirmed he will be undergoing surgery and will be out of action for a year. With Ulberg sidelined, Costa believes the UFC should create either a temporary or vacant title fight. Costa has positioned himself as the next contender for the championship and expects to fight for the belt in his upcoming bout. This development potentially opens the door for a light heavyweight title eliminator or interim championship fight.
