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

Paulo Costa announced plans to compete in both the light heavyweight and middleweight divisions. The Brazilian stated he intends not just to fight in both weight classes, but 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 everything is planned and strategic. Costa is currently scheduled to face Azamat Murzakanov at light heavyweight at UFC 327. His ambition is to maintain elite status across two divisions simultaneously, which would be a challenging feat.
