Paulo Costa has announced his readiness to move up to heavyweight immediately to face Josh Haquit. Costa believes most fans would want to see him, potentially the largest middleweight in history, compete against Haquit at heavyweight without a weight cut at the White House event. He claims he might even be heavier than Haquit on fight night. Costa suggested that if the UFC still wants Derrick Lewis on the card, they should give Lewis a different opponent. Additionally, Costa mentioned he could recover the $100,000 that Haquit allegedly owes him if the fight happens at the White House.
