Paulo Costa plans to compete in both middleweight and light heavyweight

Paulo Costa announced that he intends to fight in both the middleweight and light heavyweight divisions, aiming to be a title contender in each weight class. He emphasized that his move to light heavyweight is not due to difficulties making middleweight, but rather a strategic decision based on opportunity. Costa stated he received a good opportunity to compete at 205 pounds and has everything planned out. The Brazilian fighter maintains he can still make middleweight without issue. This dual-division approach represents an ambitious plan to pursue championship status across two UFC weight classes simultaneously.
