Paulo Costa has stated that he intends to compete in both the light heavyweight and middleweight divisions. He emphasized that his plan is not just to fight in both weight classes, but to be a title contender in each. Costa explained that he is fighting at light heavyweight not because he cannot make middleweight, but because it is part of his strategic plan and he received a good opportunity to compete at 205 pounds. He clarified that his move to light heavyweight is deliberate and calculated rather than out of necessity.
