‘This is not football’ - Paulo Costa considering move to US, but won’t join a ‘team’

Fresh off an important victory over former champion Luke Rockhold, middleweight contender Paulo Costa (14-2) might be preparing to make some big changes in his career. Although he doesn’t know exactly when yet, the Brazilian believes the time has come to move to the United States in order to keep moving forward.

In an interview with Super Lutas, ‘Borrachinha’ explained some of the reasons why he would like to leave Brazil behind and live in the United States. Surprisingly, though, Costa doesn’t seem interested in becoming part of any of the notable MMA supercamps based in the US if (or when) he does make the move.
