According to 'DC', if Chimaev is unable to find a fight at welterweight, a bout against Paulo Costa makes sense. View this post on Instagram Instagram Post'Borrachinha' has one fight remaining on his UFC contract and facing 'Borz' could be a win-win for the Brazilian. The pair will be able to settle the beef they've shared previously, while Costa could also potentially use the fight to bargain himself a better deal.Cormier explained:&quot;Paulo Costa is about done with his UFC contract. The UFC will give you a fight to make you prove why we should pay you if you're at the end [of your UFC contract]. Because, if Paulo Costa goes and beats Khamzat Chimaev, he might get anything he wants. So, for him, it makes sense.&quot;The 43-year-old added:&quot;But imagine how much you would move the needle if you're the first guy to beat Khamzat Chimaev and hopefully beat him impressively. Then, you hold all the chips. When I say chips, I mean the dollars, baby.&quot;Catch Cormier's comments here:
