Paulo Costa, who is coming off a big win over Uriah Hall has yet again called out the former UFC Middleweight Champion Chris Weidman. Speaking to Ariel Helwani on his MMA Show on ESPN, Paulo stated that he desires to avenge Weidman for all the Brazilians he defeated.
Weidman, who defeated Kevin Gastelum before his home crowd in Long Island, New York has not fought in a year due to a hand injury after the fight. He has defeated a long list of top Brazilian fighters like Demian Maia, Anderson Silva (twice), Lyoto Machida & Vitor Belfort. His undefeated winning streak was finally stopped by the former Strikeforce Middleweight champion Luke Rockhold in UFC 194.
