Luke Rockhold: ‘Pathetic’ Paulo Costa trying to move fight to August

The indecisiveness of Paulo Costa has exasperated Luke Rockhold.

Costa vs. Rockhold was recently confirmed for UFC 277 on July 30 at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, TX. However, the former UFC middleweight champion told The Schmo that the date was already in jeopardy because the No. 4 ranked contender requested to delay their fight by a few weeks. Because Costa has done this before, Rockhold was not surprised by the request, but he is growing tired of the games and wants his opponent to agree to the terms of the fight.

“Paulo Costa is pathetic and the kid needs to sign the contract and agree to the weight, agree to the fight, agree to the date, agree to the dance and [blows a kiss] let’s go,” said Rockhold.
