Paulo Costa was briefly on the radar of Reinier de Ridder for a fight in the coming weeks until reported negotiation tactics from the former scrapped that potential fight from being made.
This was discussed during a recent interview that RDR did on MMA Junkie Radio ahead of his new bout booking for UFC Vancouver. The former two-division ONE Championship titleholder was initially supposed to fight Anthony ‘Fluffy’ Hernandez during this promotional foray into Canada. Alas, Hernandez had to withdraw with an injury ,and now Brendan Allen will be on October 18th for UFC Fight Night 262.
