“This Fight Ain’t Gonna Happen”- Paulo Costa vs. Khamzat Chimaev Fight in Huge Jeopardy Claims UFC World After MW Star’s Massive Disclosure

Paulo Costa and Khamzat Chimaev are all set to face each other on the UFC 294 and it is expected to be the most epic showdown ever. Costa and Chimaev as some of the best in their respective division and their collision promises an exhilarating spectacle. However, it is worth noting that Costa and Chimaev have a history of pulling out of fights. Even UFC legend Chael Sonnen also expressed his skepticism regarding their bout in the past.

Despite elbow surgery, Costa is still looking forward for the match to materialize. With both the fighters looking towards the fateful day, it is uncertain if they are going to pull out or not. Costa in a recent viral video has claimed that he will win against Chimaev and his call out didn’t sit well with the fans.

Fan skepticism and doubts surrounding Paulo Costa’s commitment to the fight

Paulo Costa recently dropped a bombshell when he stated that he would need to undergo surgery just weeks before their bout. This led everyone to believe that Costa might consider pulling out of the match; however, Costa stated that he wouldn’t be withdrawing.

Costa in a recent statement with his interview with renowned journalist Ariel Helwani stated that he would beat Khamzat Chimaev 99 percent. He added “Because, bro, I truly believe in myself 100 times more than him, like 99 percent. I have all the tools to beat this motherf**ker, you know? He’s like a pro wrestler. He has nothing on me. He has a big head, long arms, and a slim body. He will do nothing against me. I will defend his first takedown, and I’m gonna knock him out. So, I want this fight so bad, that’s why I’m still in this fight. I did a surgery, but I don’t care. I’m gonna be there.”

Costa’s comments about him not pulling out didn’t sit well with the fans who were worried about his surgery. They took to the internet to express their opinion. Some of the comments of the fans are as follows:

After all that trash talk, Costa better not pull out lol

Paulo doesn’t believe. The eyes chico, they never lie.

Yea Costa is gonna pull out a week before the fight for sure

But will use it as an excuse when he loses

The netizens seem to be totally not amused by what Costa was trying to justify. They constantly stated that Costa would be pulling out of the bout following his history of pulling out. The Netizens add that despite his callout Costa is not confident about him winning against Chimaev.
