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

[m249viking]

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.

Nah, he's just getting too old and lazy to cut that much anymore. Also, he had the starch taken out of him recently. He's not the same. He has no name value. He hasn't been champ. He offers nothing that would get him a high $$$$ freak fight.

 

[ThunderStruck]

plus, 20% of fuck all is 20% of fuck nothing compared to box Logan boys for MILLIONS


got spend money to make money



TS has real idea

They only fight washed up or smaller guys. No chance in hell they fight Costa.

 

[USA!USA!]

He's literally trying to negotiate some ridiculous catchweight bout so he doesn't lose the 20% haha.

I guarantee Vetori is not taking anything less than 20%. If he is, he is a moron. He may accept a new weight, but he is still getting that money.

 

[El Fernas]

So, who is he going to box? He is a HUGE MW, he isnt washed, why would any of the Paul brothers would even try? His best luck if he gets cut is to go LHW in Bellator, but he might be stuck between divisions, not as big and powerfull for 205, too big for 185...he wont get cut tho.

 

[MeatWagon06]

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

Ok? And Logan boxed fucking Mayweather. They won’t box some no name MMA Fighter. He’s not a legend, not a star, not a Champ. That PPV would sell shit all. Highly doubt it, even with the training footage.

honestly its hard to come back mentally from what happened to him against adesanya, talk about a horrible matchup + the humiliating finish meme, dude went from top contender that bangs with romero to adesanya's bitch + he absolutely couldnt do shit while gastelum vettori and jan banged well against the dude.

He's got some deep mental work to do.

[Pilo]

Hadn't thought of that, but it's possible. He's been very outspoken regarding fighter pay, especially since the Paul brothers have been on the boxing scene. He might just be aiming for a big paycheck in one of those matches, then go finish his career at 205 in Bellator.

 

[Mind Mine]

Or perhaps getting humped in front of the world breaks a man’s will to fight?

 

[CasualBot]

Or he is injured

[Steve Fox]

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

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

How fucking emasculating is this when you consider yourself the hottest and most badass thing that came out of the Favela.. Costa is done.

 

[g*r*b]

It may be the only logical explanation....but do you really see Paulo Costa as someone who does things only for logical reasons?

 

[humdizzle]

TS has a solid idea

He could go to OneFC and become the new Bob Sapp.

 

[Russie]

He's not that bright. We would be giving him too much for actually thinking through a plan.

 

[CC27]

might be, maybe he doesnt care. he gets cut and then goes to Bellator or PFL. I'd still let him go to LHW and see if he can do something there before I cut him but if he loses this one fight they might just be done with him. If he wins then its a bit tricky, he beat a MW at catchweight and didnt even try to make weight. But he could still be something at 205.

Logan is fighting Tyson. Why the fuck would he fight a no name mma fighter for 1/10th the money

 

[KAZSoliloquy]

apparently that’s the only way out of dana’s slavery deals

vitor belfort just headlined a boxing card lmfao

 

[CatchtheseHands]

Sherbro conspiracists at it again.

 

[fizzlehiss]

It's UFC who told him he can't cut it, not himself.
