Paulo Costa says Hamzat Chimaev will face problems at light heavyweight

Paulo Costa believes Hamzat Chimaev will struggle if he moves up to light heavyweight (93 kg). Costa expressed confidence in his own size advantage at that weight class, stating he is a real monster at 93 kg and doesn't need to cut muscle mass. He suggested that for Chimaev, the weight increase would be tragic. The comments come as Chimaev prepares for his upcoming middleweight title fight. Costa's remarks imply he views himself as a potential threat to Chimaev should the Chechen fighter eventually move up to 205 pounds.
