Paulo Costa has offered to jump to heavyweight immediately to face Josh Hockitt, stating he believes fans would love to see him, possibly the biggest middleweight in history, compete at heavyweight without a weight cut at the White House event. Costa suggested he might even be heavier than Hockitt on fight night and proposed replacing Derrick Lewis with someone else if Trump still wants Lewis on the card. Costa added that if he gets the Hockitt fight at the White House, he could also collect the $100,000 he claims Hockitt owes him. The post asked fans to vote on whether they would prefer Costa vs. Hockitt or Hockitt vs. Lewis.
