Paulo Costa has stated his intention to fight in both the middleweight and light heavyweight divisions. The Brazilian emphasized that he doesn't just want to compete in both weight classes, but aims to be a title contender in each division. Costa clarified that his current move to light heavyweight is not because he cannot make middleweight, but rather because he received a good opportunity to compete at 205 pounds. He stressed that the decision to fight at light heavyweight is strategic rather than necessity-based. Costa's ambitious plan would make him one of the rare UFC fighters actively pursuing championship contention in two weight classes simultaneously.
