I guess “buddy” signed the contract.
Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) recently announced the middleweight matchup between Robert Whittaker and Paulo Costa, a bout that has been booked several times in the past but never quite made it to the Octagon, mostly because of “The Eraser.”
Examples here and here.
The promotion will try again for the upcoming UFC 298 pay-per-view (PPV) event, locked and loaded for Sat., Feb. 17, 2024 at Honda Center in Anaheim. That’s where Alex Volkanovski will defend his 145-pound strap against top contender Ilia Topuria.
Previously scheduled for UFC 299, Garry vs. Neal will get bumped up by a few weeks.
