One-time undisputed UFC middleweight title challenger, Paulo Costa has confirmed he has rejected a new contract proposal from the organization, as he attempts to enter free agency next year.
Costa, the current #6 ranked middleweight contender, has been slated to feature at UFC 284 in February next year against former division champion, Robert Whittaker, however, insisted recently that he had no contract to compete at the Perth, Australia showcase.
The Belo Horizonte native’s most recent Octagon walk came back in August of this year at UFC 278 in Salt Lake City, defeating another former undisputed champion, Luke Rockhold in a unanimous decision effort.
Notoriously pointing out his displeasure with his current contract under the banner of the Dana White-led organization, Paulo Costa recently hinted at a move to boxing following the completion of his contractual obligations with the UFC.
Paulo Costa rejects new contract proposal from the UFC
And this week, the Brazilian contender has claimed the UFC have since attempted to resign him to a multi-fight deal before his slated fight with Whittaker, however, he maintains he has no interest in inking terms.
“So I politely declined,” Paulo Costa tweeted. “They [the UFC] offer a 6-fight deal, but I’m not interested in a multi-fight deal.”
Competing for gold on one occasion during his tenure with the UFC, Costa headlined UFC 253 in September 2020 against former champion, Israel Adesanya, suffering a second round knockout loss in Abu Dhabi, UAE.
14-2 as a professional, Costa holds other notable Octagon triumphs over the likes of Uriah Hall, former welterweight champion, Johny Hendricks, and former middleweight title chaser, Yoel Romero. Last month, Costa described his contract with the UFC was “miserable” and insisted he had not signed a deal to fight Whittaker next February, before detailing how he retains just a single fight on his current deal with the organization.

“Trans without penis is same a angel without wings .”
I’VE NEVER FELT SO FREE HERE… NOW I CAN SAY WITHOUT FEAR THAT MAN HAS A PENIS AND WOMAN HAS A VAGINA. THANK YOU.”
‘Borrachinha‘ has his next match booked for UFC 284 against the former middleweight champion Robert Whittaker, this will be in February 2023. Costa’s future in the UFC is unclear. The fighter has stated that this is the final fight on his contract and has not renewed it. In the past, he has discussed how unhappy he is with the UFC’s pay. The Brazilian athlete has even hinted at transitioning to boxing. Costa explained to Ag Fight:
“I haven’t renewed with the UFC. I had a talk with Hunter [Campbell]. He was supposed to get back to me. I asked him about a figure, and he was supposed to give me an answer about it. I haven’t gotten an answer yet … I have one fight left and I’m not very sure.“
