In the last five months, the UFC's middleweight division has produced three different champions.

After suffering a fifth round knockout loss to the Brazilians in November at UFC 281, 'The Last Stylebender' came into the fight. It was the fourth time the pair met, their second inside the octagon, and it was the first time Adesanya had come out on top. Pereira used his sharp jab to produce brutal calf-kicks in the first round, with both guys struggling to find their place. Both men will push forward a little more in the second round. The Brazilian landed a series of shots in a row, including a brutal knee to the body that had Adesanya tied on the strings midway through the round.

"I say I want new terms to fight [Whittaker]," the Brazilian revealed on the MMA Hour. I would not [fight] for the same money. It's a major event in Australia. The people from Australia will attend. It's a great fight. So [$70,000] is not enough for that. Take a few steps higher, and no one said no.

Robert Whittaker, the Australian ex UFC champion, will not be squaring off with Paulo Costa at UFC 284 in Perth, as the Brazilian knockout artist claims he never signed a deal for the fight in January. According to reports, the fight has taken place nearly two months after UFC announced that the middleweight bout would take place on February 13. Costa has referred to the match as 'fake news' on social media and has said in interviews that he was still discussing a new deal with the promotion.

Paulo Costa's current UFC deal is only one fight remaining, but he is in no rush to re-sign and is eager to become a free agent after being refused a new multi-fight deal.

Costa is currently the No. 6 ranked middleweight, but only received $28,500) ($30,000) for fighting Italian Marvin Vettori back in 2021.
