Paulo Costa put forth a suggestion for a co-main event after an intense brawl erupted at the press conference for the Jake Paul vs. Nate Diaz fight.
Jake Paul and Nate Diaz will square off in a ten-round boxing fight at the American Airlines Centre in Dallas, Texas this Saturday.
Tempers flared at the press conference as the main-event fighters engaged in their traditional faceoff on Thursday.

Paulo Costa issues a warning to Khamzat Chimaev
Paulo Costa will return to the octagon in a middleweight fight against Khamzat Chimaev at UFC 294. The event will take place on October 21, 2023, at the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
During a recent interview with MMA Junkie, Costa made it clear that he despises 'Borz,' promising that their heated rivalry will light up the octagon and make UFC 294 an absolute must-see spectacle:
"The fight card [UFC 294] is amazing, for sure the biggest event of the year. Dana and all the UFC managers have put a lot of effort on that card to bring the best."
He added:
"Yes, I hate that dude [Khamzat]. I'm training just to make him suffer not only to beat him. I want to do that in a great style. I put all my skills and my... concentration and focus to be better than ever, physically, mentally, and technically. You know all parts together to help me perform better than ever. I know over there in Abu Dhabi would be a kind of 'his house' but I don't care, I'm going there to take over."
