Paulo Costa Frustrated by UFC Inaction With One Fight Left on Contract

July 1, 2026

Quick read

Paulo Costa says he has been unable to secure a next fight since his win over Azamat, with UFC matchmakers repeatedly telling him to wait. Costa says he is open to competing at light heavyweight, middleweight, or even heavyweight, but has received no concrete offer despite reaching out to Hunter Campbell. With one fight remaining on his contract, Costa fears the promotion is deliberately stalling to prevent him from reaching free agency in a stronger bargaining position.
