I mean they could but really, why? Why not cut him? He's not going to pull a Francis or something. His stock is way down after pulling out of the Khamzat fight. Now if he pulls out of UFC 300? Why pay this guy ever again?Nah that's probably what he wants. They'll keep him under contract, take him outta the rankings, and only offer him the toughest unranked/barely ranked opponents possible. All-risk no-reward shit. Fluffy, Aliskerov, Oleksiejczuk etc
I've said this several times before and I'll say it again - the sooner the UFC cuts Costa the better. He just absolutely wrecks cards and fucks over his opponents on a consistent basis. As Dana once said "the kid just doesn't want to fight."
Can't believe some of you were thinking he stood a chance against Khamzat anyway, let alone thinking he would show up. Guy got wrecked by Vettori and barely scraped by Rockhold lol.

I get the sense he's only being kept around because Dana thinks he might have some kind of draw to right wing bro culture but honestly even that I don't think is true, Izzy humped away his credibility with that crowd.I mean they could but really, why?

UFC contracts state that the UFC has to offer him 3 fights a year minimum - why potentially derail prospects by giving them a fight like Costa?
