Costa is intentionally trying to get cut from the UFC - that's the only logical explanation

[Nathan LaMontagne]

No fucking way any of those dweebs would fight Costs, he's in their weight class...

But yeah, this shit is baffling that he's pulling this.


The UFC is borderline criminal in actions, the second they catch on to it they're just going to hold onto his contract... No fighting anywhere for years.

 

[dildos]

Or he could just be hiding an injury

his sphincter hasnt healed after izzy was done with him.

 

[Herwald]

Not impossible. If he looks really bad vs Vet, it might even be it even if he doesn't want it. Missing weight, turning down fights, exposing the pay, blowing a title shot - a lot of irritancies for UFC.

I'm still a fan of the guy, I don't know what's going on.

 

[Dirty Frank]

He's become more and more of a diva after getting molested live on PPV.
Must have been mighty traumatic

 

[maximus__]

Paulo has no name value. Hes not getting a million dollars to fight a Paul brother.

He already knockjed one of them out and they wrestled with him in an mma sparring session.

 

[The_Renaissance]

His attitude seems to have changed a lot since the Adesanya fight. You may have a point, TS.

 

[DaRivv20]

Paul brothers aren’t boxing this dude lol

They only fight washed up Welterweights.

Paulo probably walks around closer to 190 lbs which the Paul’s fight at.

 

[dogsdonutsdragons]

i think this is on his management team but him too because hes goes along with it. idk if hes trying to leave for boxing because hes not the best boxer and who will he fight. i think hes trying to strong arm the ufc and do what he wants to get his way. nick diaz camp just sort of pulled something similar but not as blatant and bad as this

 

[Pancake Sprawl]

this dude has totally fallen off. leading up to the Adesanya fight i thought it was going to be an epic showdown, everything after that has made him look worse and worse.

 

[HHJ]

I feel like he's dumb enough to do this. I wonder how many fights left he has,and will he pull a bob sapp in the fight?

If I am Triller id offer Costa almost nothing,because its not like he can go back to UFC if he doesnt take it.

Yea washed Woodley was a draw... Lol

They paid washed up non draw Woodley millions, why not an actual active striker who has the look? They could have paid Woodley peanuts but didn't

Good point. Its still a big risk. It might not work out the way he's thinking it will.

 

[KBE6EKCTAH_CCP]

He was bitching earlier in the year about how much youtube boxers are making compared to UFC fighters.

I think he wants to get in on that money train but he can't while he's under UFC contract.

He should be enjoying his maternal leave and take care of that beautiful baby Adesanya gave him.

 

[Luckyme]

True, or maybe he decided to pull a Corey Anderson and take his services to Bellator.

He may have lost whatever motivation he had to win the UFC title after the Izzy fight. Incidentally that's when the complaining about money started. Coker would be thrilled to to have a big name from the UFC and he'd likely get double what Uncle Dana pays him.

 

[PalmStrike]

The day the Pauls fight a guy that looks like Costa. That’s the day the zombie apocalypse starts and we’re all screwed. That’s never happening. Imagine that guy with no USADA.

Im more than ready for the ZA...

 

[Iroh]

Or the dude is showing signs of depression from the Izzy humiliation.

 

[Gigaton Punch]

The Paul Brothers are not fighting an in prime 185 lb fighter (and Paulo might have even outgrown that weight class now) in this lifetime.

It's really only Jake who's active and he was calling out another WW in Masvidal, he won't even look Vitor or Anderson's way even though they've both boxed recently and those are washed 185'ers

 

[cakemuncher]

Costa sounds still shooketh from Izzy's destroyance and soul snatching.

I have doubts he'll ever enter the cage again...

 

[DaviVasco]

exactly, Paul is not crazy to boxe Costa, unless Costa is not fighting for real. Costa is way more dangerous to them than woodley is.
