Media Paulo Costa Rejects A New Contract

[mjfan23]

Costas online handles alone deserve champ level contracts

 

[ComfortablyNumb55]

Lol @ 6 fights.

That could lock you in for years.

 

[SkinnyClaw]

He should box Jake Paul and beat up lower level guys in a different organisation, no point slaving away at the UFC

 

[Bjjpitbull8]

No fighter should ever sign a 6-fight deal with the UFC. I don't even think the aging vets should be signing those deals anymore.

My exact thoughts. It blows my mind when guys sign multi fight contracts with them. Unless they’re offering fuck you money that would allow a fighter to never have to work again, I see no benefit to being locked in with them.

 

[SaintBroseph]

I'm over Paulo, he can leave. I just hope he doesn't fuck over Whittaker and no shows or comes in considerably overweight

 

[Nobru]

maybe hes confident hes beating Bob, which I dont think its likely but very possible
if that happens, hes worth more ofc
if he loses tho............... youtube, other organizations, IDK

 

[burningspear]

he realizes his appeal, time to capitalize

 

[BjPenn2017]

Lol yeah real hard decision to make, especially for one of the few big names in MMA like Costa. Sign a shitty 75/75 or go make more in one boxing match than he would his entire ufc career.

 

[cburm]

If he beats whittaker the UFC can't let him go

 

[Street Bishop]

Dude just wants a shorter contract

 

[Poirierfan]

Fuck the UFC's their slimy tactics.

 

[HaulParris]

Nothing of value is lost.

I agree. For the last few years, he's more of a social media personality than an actually relevant fighter.

 

[BEATDOWNS]

Borrachinha Bless

multi fight deals are slave contracts i wouldn't sign for anymore than three either.

 

[Coconutwater]

He hasn't really got a lot of leverage in negotiations. He's more of a Twitter guy. I would love to see him vs Jake Paul though, would be Twitter vs Youtube.

Jake Paul would look decent in the octagon, he looked great when they boxed and grappled.

 

[cooks1]

Believe he has 1 fight left on his deal. What is he thinking?

Rematch with Romero in Bellator?

Hope he is not thinking boxing, going to be absolutely destroyed by anyone with a pulse.

on the lighter side, this gif on his account made laugh out loud

My guess is he's thinking he will either get more $ from the UFC once he's on the open market or more from someone else.

 

[mmadeewana]

I want to see him in ONE Championship, their MW division needs more competitors.

Costa is heavyweight in One.

 

[dipstickjimmy]

Costa is heavyweight in One.

Was going to post exactly this

 

[Hdfi]

Costa is heavyweight in One.

MW in ONE is 205 lbs. Costa weighed in at 185.5 lbs in his last fight.

 

[Young Calf Kick]

Good, fuck ´em.

he realizes his appeal, time to capitalize

"appeal" lmao whom is he appealing to? some neckbeards on a karate forum with middle school level humor?

 

[Yep]

Charles got some body outside of training for a fight.
