"'Borrachinha' is a guy that, love him or hate him, you will like to see his fights. And give me three names of the division that sell fights like him."
"I see him [being competitive] with any of those Top 5 of the division. To tell you the truth, considering that Ulberg will be out for a long time due to his knee, if UFC makes a interim title between 'Borrachinha' and Jiri, I believe Costa would knock him out."
"I'll never forget what Master Rudimar always told us. If you are facing a weaker opponent, finish him as fast as possible so the people don't see his level."
Paulo Costa delivered an impressive performance at UFC 327, knocking out Azamat Murzakanov in the third round. Rafael Cordeiro, a two-time 'Coach of the Year,' believes Costa should stay in the light heavyweight division. Cordeiro stated that Costa could compete with the top fighters in the division and would likely defeat Jiri Prochazka if they fought for the interim title. He criticized Prochazka's attitude during his fight against Carlos Ulberg, emphasizing the importance of finishing weaker opponents quickly.
