Paulo Costa has become the latest UFC fighter to ask for a ridiculous amount of money.
Following the steps of Jorge Masvidal and Jon Jones, now the Brazilian wants to be paid big time in order to participate in the new TUF season and to fight against the middleweight champion Israel Adesanya.
Costa is the number one contender for Adesanya’s belt, pus recently Dana White revealed that there’s a new “The Ultimate Fighter” season and he said Adesanya and Costa could be the two captains.
No doubt that fans will want to see that action prior to their title match that is expected to happen later this year.
Who likes that match?

I want 15 million like Jon

It’s not a sure thing if Costa is being funny with his demands or he really wants to be paid 15 million dollars, but the likelihood of the second one happening is close to none.
Costa is undefeated in his pro career, having a 13-0 record. Many believe Adesanya will face his toughest challenge when he square off with “Borrachinha”.
