Paulo Costa plans to compete in both middleweight and light heavyweight

Paulo Costa has stated he plans to fight in both the light heavyweight and middleweight divisions. He intends not just to compete in both weight classes, but to be a title contender in each. Costa clarified that he is fighting at light heavyweight not because he cannot make middleweight, but because everything is planned and he received a good opportunity to compete at 93 kg (205 lbs). He emphasized that his move to light heavyweight is strategic rather than out of necessity.
