Paulo Costa believes Khamzat Chimaev will face serious problems if he moves up to the light heavyweight division. Costa stated that at 205 pounds, he is "a real monster" who does not need to cut muscle mass. He predicted the weight change would be "tragic" for Chimaev. The Brazilian appears confident that his natural size advantage at light heavyweight would give him an edge in a potential matchup. Costa has competed at both middleweight and light heavyweight during his UFC career. The post includes a poll asking if Costa poses a bigger threat at 205 pounds, with options suggesting skepticism about his chances against Chimaev specifically.
