Paulo Costa has declared his willingness to immediately move up to heavyweight to face Josh Howitt, potentially at the upcoming White House event. Costa stated that he believes most fans would want to see him, possibly the largest middleweight in history, compete against Howitt at heavyweight without a weight cut. He suggested he might even be heavier than Howitt on fight night. Costa also mentioned that if the UFC wants Derrick Lewis on the card, they should find him a different opponent. Additionally, Costa referenced that a fight with Howitt would give him an opportunity to reclaim $100,000 that he claims Howitt owes him. The post asks fans whether they would prefer to see Costa vs. Howitt or Howitt vs. Lewis.
