Paulo Costa is solely interested in one fight for his next UFC appearance: a rematch with Marvin Vettori.
Costa and Vettori fought this past October at UFC Vegas 41, where ‘Borrachinha’ was defeated by the ‘Italian Dream’ via unanimous decision in a 205-pound fight. Though both men compete in the 185-pound division, several changes had to be made after the Brazilian arrived to fight week heavier than usual and admitted he would be unable to make weight. He later explained that a left bicep injury forced him to stop training weeks before his fight, an excuse that was not enough to keep UFC president Dana White from declaring Costa would be competing as a light heavyweight from now on.
