Paulo Costa plans to compete in both middleweight and light heavyweight divisions

Paulo Costa has stated his intention to fight in both the light heavyweight and middleweight divisions simultaneously. The Brazilian says he doesn't just want to compete in both weight classes, but aims to be a title contender in each. Costa clarified that his move to light heavyweight is not because he cannot make middleweight, but rather because he received a good opportunity at 205 pounds. He emphasized that fighting at light heavyweight is part of a calculated plan rather than a necessity. Costa is scheduled to face Azamat Murzakanov at light heavyweight this weekend at UFC 327.
