Quick read

Paulo Costa says that since his victory over Azamat he has been actively seeking his next fight, exploring opportunities at light heavyweight, middleweight, and even heavyweight. The response from UFC executive Hunter Campbell has consistently been to wait, and Costa is now frustrated as July arrives with no bout booked. With one fight remaining on his contract, Costa believes the promotion may be deliberately delaying in order to prevent him from becoming a free agent with leverage.
