Paulo Costa believes Khamzat Chimaev will struggle at light heavyweight

Paulo Costa has expressed confidence that Khamzat Chimaev will face difficulties if he moves up to light heavyweight. Costa claims that at 93 kg (205 pounds), he is a "real monster" who does not need to lose muscle mass for the weight class. He suggested that the transition would be "tragic" for Chimaev. The statement appears to be Costa positioning himself as a threat at light heavyweight while casting doubt on Chimaev's ability to compete effectively in the division. The post does not indicate whether a fight between the two is being discussed or planned.
