Paulo Costa Moves Up To Light Heavyweight For New UFC 327 Bout
Paulo Costa is moving up in weight, potentially for good.
UFC 327
UFC 327 has a brand new fight, while UFC 326 has an updated bout. Paulo Costa was set to take on Bruno Ferreira in a Middleweight Bout at UFC 326. But, shortly after that bout was announced, it was cancelled due to Paulo Costa pulling out.
Now, Bruno has gotten a replacement opponent for the bout at UFC 326, and that is Gregory Rodrigues, as first reported by Laerte Viana . But, what about Paulo? Well, he is fighting just one pay-per-view later at UFC 327 against the undefeated 16-0 Azamat Murzakanov at Light Heavyweight, as well reported by Laerte Viana.
While not fully confirmed, Paulo may be making a permanent move up in weight, due to his constant weight making issues. This isn’t the first time Paulo has fought at 205lbs, as he fought Marvin Vettori at 205 in 2021 after missing the Middleweight mark by 25 pounds. The bout was then made a Light Heavyweight bout to keep it on the card. Now, Paulo is fighting a real undefeated Light Heavyweight with 13 of his 16 wins by knockout. UFC 327 also includes Johnny Walker vs. Dominick Reyes and Tatiana Suarez vs. Loopy Godinez, with the full card soon to be revealed.
