Is Sean Strickland fighting Paulo Costa next?

Middleweight contenders Sean Strickland and Paulo Costa might finally clash after initial disagreements.

Costa recently claimed on a podcast that Strickland declined a fight offer for UFC 302 in June. While Costa expressed interest in facing Jared Cannonier, the UFC reportedly proposed a matchup with Strickland. However, the Brazilian stated that 'Tarzan' refused the bout.

Strickland countered this claim on social media, suggesting negotiations were the real issue. He implied on social media that this decision hinged on financial terms, writing:

"I never say no... I say 'how much' lol"

Further posts from Strickland indicated ongoing discussions with the UFC regarding his pay for the fight. He expressed his desire for a swift resolution to avoid delays.

Fortunately, it appears a solution has seemingly been resolved. Strickland recently announced the fight with Costa on social media, suggesting successful negotiations with the UFC.

"Well I had a meeting with the UFC and told them that I don't want to be rich. I want to be able to support a family after my career is done. They actually were pretty supportive. made it happen. THank you fanas! Alright @BorrachinhaMMA you got your wish... Let's do some bleeding."
