Quick read
Melquizael Costa has announced he is moving up to lightweight, citing the physical toll of cutting 22 kilograms for each fight. The Brazilian previously competed at 70 kg before his UFC debut and fought his first UFC bout against Thiago Moises at lightweight before dropping to featherweight, where he put together a six-fight winning streak. He was one step outside the featherweight top ten at the time of his decision to move up.
