I think Yoel is too much of a step up for Costa. The difference between fighting Hall and fighting the best MW is considerable. I think Paulo definitely can be a champion eventually but I have my doubts on whether his time has come yet.
Romero is ranked #1. He just fought the champ twice. He's beaten the guys ranked #2 #3 #5 #6 (Rockhold, Weidman, Jacare, Brunson). #4 Gastelum is fighting the champ Whittaker. He's also beaten #10 Tavares. His resume is pretty insane.
Who else is he supposed to fight? Costa at #8 makes sense. It's either him or Branch there are no other fresh options
