Paulo Costa will not be fighting Jared Cannonier at UFC on ESPN 26, but ‘Borrachinha’ claims he never signed a fight contract to begin with.
A disgruntled Costa took to Twitter in the early hours of Saturday morning where he put the UFC on blast for announcing the Cannonier fight and claims that ‘YouTubers’ are exposing issues with UFC fighter pay.
Although it’s not clear why Costa was removed from the card, it appears the Brazilian didn’t feel he was being fairly compensated.
UFC needs to pay me as main fighter to have fighting in main events.
