Paulo Costa has proposed moving up to heavyweight to fight Josh Hawkitt at the upcoming UFC White House event, arguing that he may be the biggest middleweight in history and could potentially outweigh Hawkitt even without a weight cut. Costa suggested that if the UFC still wants Derrick Lewis on the card, they should find him a different opponent. He also mentioned that fighting Hawkitt at the White House would give him an opportunity to reclaim the $100,000 he claims Hawkitt owes him. The post includes a poll asking fans whether they prefer Costa vs. Hawkitt or Hawkitt vs. Lewis.
