Paulo Costa offers to move up to heavyweight to fight Josh Howkitt

Paulo Costa has expressed willingness to immediately move up to heavyweight to face Josh Howkitt, claiming he might actually be heavier than Howkitt despite being a middleweight. Costa suggested fighting at the White House event without a weight cut, positioning himself as possibly the largest middleweight in history. He also mentioned wanting to reclaim $100,000 that Howkitt allegedly owes him. Costa proposed replacing Derrick Lewis's opponent with himself for this potential White House fight. The callout represents an unusual cross-divisional challenge from a middleweight to a heavyweight.
