Paulo Costa says he messaged Dana White but is yet to receive a reply over UFC 327 ‘injustice’

Paulo Costa feels snubbed consequently of the opposite highlights that Saturday night produced.

Costa received praise from Donald Trump after securing his biggest and most impressive win in a while this past weekend.

He became the primary man to beat Azamat Murzakanov by stopping him within the third round, earning the #7-ranking in the sunshine heavyweight division consequently.

Costa should want to face Khamzat Chimaev following this victory, but there’s one other reward that he believes he deserves.

What needs to be next for a rejuvenated Paulo Costa following UFC 327?

Paulo Costa messaged Dana White resulting from post-fight bonus snub frustrations

Josh Hokit earned two post-fight bonuses at UFC 327 for his incredible war with Curtis Blaydes that took place right before Paulo Costa’s win within the co-main event.

This decision has led to a back-and-forth between Hokit and Costa resulting from the Brazilian believing that considered one of those checks should’ve been awarded to him as an alternative.

The previous middleweight title challenger recently said that this “injustice” left him incredibly frustrated following the event and even resulted in him sending a message to Dana White.

“I texted Dana about that. I hope and I trust Dana and Hunter [Campbell] are gonna maintain me,” he said on The Ariel Helwani Show. “They’re gonna rethink about that. I feel they did a mistake not giving the bonus but I’m confident they’re fair and so they’re gonna fix this.”

Costa went on so as to add that after he sent the message on Monday night, White read what he needed to say but hasn’t responded yet.

It’s hard to assume Costa not earning a Performance or Fight of the Night bonus had Hokit’s victory not taken place on the identical night.

‘Borrachinha’ pulled off a remarkable win where he had to beat some adversity before coming out within the third round just like the ruthless finisher that fans saw during his initial run within the UFC.

Costa can have earned the $25,000 finish bonus implemented initially of the yr, but he clearly feels the way of his win deserves a much bigger reward.
