Yoel didn't know the fight has been made. It was UFC trying to play ball, trying to predict injury recovery time as well as forcing a matchup. Yoel didn't pull out, the fight wasn't agreed on at all because he would still be recovering his injury in November. What they agreed to was January date, the first ESPN card that now TJ and Cejudo headlines, but Costa injured something and asked for Yoel to wait until March.
