Middleweight Paulo Costa has called out Josh Hockit, proposing an immediate move to heavyweight to face him at the upcoming UFC White House event without a weight cut. Costa claims he may outweigh Hockit even without cutting and suggests replacing Derrick Lewis if Trump still wants Lewis on the card. Costa added that if he gets the Hockit fight at the White House, he could also reclaim the $100,000 that he claims Hockit owes him. The challenge comes as Costa positions himself for a high-profile bout. The post invited fans to vote on whether they prefer Costa vs. Hockit or Hockit vs. Lewis.
