Dana White Refutes Paulo Costa’s Claims of Ongoing UFC Contract Problems
Dana White pushes back on Paulo Costa’s UFC contract claims, insisting every fighter is offered three fights a year.
Dana White addressed Paulo Costa's persistent contract grievances with the UFC following a heated exchange on social media. White defended the promotion, stating that fighters, including Costa, are routinely offered fights and not denied opportunities or pay. Costa's frustration stems from the lack of activity since his April win over Azamat Murzakanov and his history of backing out of bouts.
Costa now has one fight remaining on his contract, with a purse set for a three-round bout rather than the five rounds initially agreed upon. He has presented UFC CBO Hunter Campbell with three options: accepting the existing three-round fight against any opponent, securing a five-round fight at light heavyweight within six weeks while increasing the purse, or relinquishing his contract.
