Despite UFC President Dana White’s constant warnings, Brazilian MMA star Paulo Costa has confirmed that he will return to the octagon as a middleweight. Costa confirmed this to a fan who asked when and how the Brazilian is going to make a comeback to the premier promotion. ‘Borrachinha [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/paulo-costa/]‘ said, “I had no problem to do 185, to make 185 in the last seven years ago. I know the way to make 185. I know the magics to make 185 and will make 185 with no problem, don’t worry.” This time, ‘Borrachinha’ himself put his stamp of approval over the speculations. Not long ago, his manager, Wallid Ismail, stated the same. “The UFC is not the biggest fighting company in the world by chance,” Costa’s manager told Sherdog [https://www.sherdog.com/news/news/Wallid-Ismail-Paulo-Costa-Will-Remain-at-Middleweight-for-Next-UFC-Appearance-183963]. “They know that ‘Borrachinha’ was injured and that’s why he had problems with his weight. There is no doubt his next fight will take place in the middleweight division.” READ MORE- ‘How Am I Going to Take It Seriously if the UFC Don’t Take It Seriously’- Alexander Volkanovski Says UFC Never Mentioned Henry Cejudo Offer [https://www.essentiallysports.com/ufc-mma-news-how-am-i-going-to-take-it-seriously-if-the-ufc-dont-take-it-seriously-alexander-volkanovski-says-ufc-never-mentioned-henry-cejudo-offer/] Costa has been a middleweight fighter for most of his career. However, his last fight (vs ‘The Italian Dream’ Marvin Vettori [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/marvin-vettori/]) was in the light heavyweight division. What was supposed to be a middleweight scrap was later shifted to a 205-pound fight after Costa informed the company that he could not make weight. DANA WHITE ORDERS PAULO COSTA TO REMAIN AT LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT At the post-fight presser of the UFC Fight Night event featuring Paulo Costa and Marvin Vettori, Dana White [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/dana-white/] gave a subtle order to Costa that he was going to fight at 205-pounds from here onwards. This was after Costa showed up massively overweight. UFC President Dana White told the reporters- “We absolutely tell you where to fight when this happens. He’s going to have to fight at 205.” WATCH THIS STORY- UFC 270: Francis Ngannou vs. Ciryl Gane Stats – Record, Height, Reach, and More [https://www.essentiallysports.com/stories/ufc-270-mma-news-francis-ngannou-vs-ciryl-gane-stats-record-height-reach-and-more/] Are you excited about Paulo Costa’s return?

<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Dana White: Net Worth 2024, Salary, Wife, and More</b></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Who is Dana White? </strong></h2>
Dana Frederick White Jr. is a name that every MMA fanatic knows. From running away from mobsters to running the biggest MMA promotion in the world, White has come a long way. An organization he and his friend Lorenzo Fertitta bought for $2 million, now stands at nearly $7-8 million.

He played an instrumental role in making the UFC the household brand it is today. He started his career as a bouncer and climbed the ladder to become one of the most successful businesspeople worldwide. His business acumen, shrewd tactics, and eye for opportunities eased UFC's path to establish itself as the biggest MMA promotion.

As of 2024, he works as the President of UFC, a position he has held since 2001.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Dana White's early lifeÂ </b></h2>
Born on July 28, 1969, White spent his early childhood in Ware, Massachusetts. The 53-year-old spent his youth switching bases between Las Vegas and Maine. White initially attended Bishop Gorman High School, where he first encountered Lorenzo Fertitta. However, he got kicked out twice and finally graduated from Hermon High School in Maine in 1987.
<figure class="jsx-b9c5e7fc3c08d611">

</figcaption></figure>
White dropped out of college twice and juggled various jobs, including laying asphalt, a bouncer at an Irish bar, and as a bellhop at the Boston Harbor Hotel.

Ever interested in combat sports, White picked up a pair of boxing gloves at 17 and initially dreamt of pursuing a professional career. However, he soon dropped the idea after witnessing a punch drunk boxer (someone suffering from Chronic traumatic encephalopathy, a disease linked to head trauma injury)Â and feared the same outcome for himself.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Dana White's parents</b></h2>
Dana White was born to June and Dana White Sr. and traces his roots as an Irish American. While much is not known about his father, he and his sister Kelly mostly grew up under the care of his mother and grandparents. His mother was a nurse by profession and their move to Vegas was in pursuit of a better livelihood.

In 2011, June released the unauthorized autobiography of the UFC lynchpin- 'Dana White, King of MMA'. She shockingly revealed that her sonÂ <em>"had turned his back on his family and friends who were there for home when he needed help and support".</em>

Similarly,Â <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46eMp_rWgjc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">in a 2011 interview,</a>Â she said,Â <em>"He's not a good person. He seems to have lost his character somewhere along the way. He mistreats people."</em>
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Dana White's wife and children</b></h2>
UFC President is married to Anne, whom he met in eighth grade, and the duo tied the knot in 1996. The couple is blessed with three children, two sons- Dana III, Aidan, and one daughter Savannah.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>What is Dana White's net worth in 2024?</b></h2>
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Dana White has a net worth of $500 million. Further, he collects an estimated $20 million salary annually.

Apart from this, he also owns "Power Slap," alongside ventures inside the UFC like "Dana White's Contender Series." This surely helps him bank quite a sum, alongside his occasional big wins in gambling. For instance, he once won nearly $7 million in a single night at a Las Vegas Casino.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Is Dana White the owner of UFC?</strong></h2>
While running boxercise gyms, he met MMA fighters, Tito Ortiz and Chuck Liddell, and eventually took over as their manager. Moreover, he met Bob Meyrowitz and pounced on the opportunity when he learned Meyrowitz wanted to sell UFC. He sought the aid of Lorenzo Fertitta and ultimately he and his older brother Frank bought the UFC for $2 million. And the pair appointed White as the President.

<figcaption>
<p id="node---34197-figcap">via Getty</p>

</figcaption></figure>
In 2019, White penned a lucrative 7-year contract with the promotion, elongating his stronghold. Markedly, in April 2023, Endeavor, the parent company of UFC,Â <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/wwe-news-unbelievable-wwes-high-profile-sale-to-ufcs-parent-company-made-jim-ross-scared-because-of-one-particular-reason/" target="_self" rel="noopener">announced a merger with WWE</a> to form a new $24 billion company. Additionally, White retained his position as the president of the UFC brand. White previously owned 9% of the UFC before he sold his stake to Endeavor for $340 million.

In addition, White also worked as a co-promoter of theÂ <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/conor-mcgregor/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Conor McGregor</a>-Floyd Mayweather fight, thus making his debut in boxing scenes. However, soon he lost interest as he labeled boxing promotion as a "<em>broken business</em>" in 2022.

Another brainchild of White, The Power Slap, debuted in January 2023, on which White worked as a producer.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><strong>Dana Whiteâ€™s health: Weight loss, fasting &amp; transformation</strong></h2>
Over the last few years, Dana White's health has undergone a massive transformation, and now he is seemingly in his best health. His life coach and founder of 10X Health System, Garry Brecka had even predicted that at the rate White was indulging in bad habits and ignoring his health, he might only have a decade left.

He had previously been wrongly diagnosed with idiopathic depression, and the medications took a toll on him. Later, the mogul also suffered from dangerously high blood pressure, was overweight, and had a high triglyceride count, which allowed Brecka to reach his conclusion. And according to him, marking the life expectancy only validated the urgency for White.

He would soon make <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/ufc-mma-news-why-did-dana-white-lose-so-much-weight-real-reason-behind-86-hour-water-fast-carried-out-by-the-ufc-ceo/">massive strides in his lifestyle and share with the world his secrets</a>. He followed a holistic plan with the help of Brecka that included the right diet, supplements, and exercise. His diet included high fat but low carbs, to induce ketosis, a method by which fat is broken down into ketones. It also included an 86-hour water-fast regimen that was so transformative that White couldn't help but share it with the world.

<img class="size-medium wp-image-1914362 aligncenter" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/NINTCHDBPICT000765320323-380x315.jpg" alt="" width="380" height="315" />

Now White continues to be healthier than ever and includes other innovative techniques such as ice baths to up his health game. After all, to be the president of the world's biggest MMA promotion is no joke and only a healthy man can play the long haul.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Dana Whiteâ€™s other businesses and endorsements</strong></h2>
A man of many talents, the man who made UFC the biggest MMA promotion in the world has numerous other ventures under his sleeve. Here are some enlisted-
<ul>
 	<li>
<h3>Power Slap</h3>
</li>
</ul>
White is the founder and promoter of Power Slap, an unconventional fighting organization that was launched in 2022. Since then, it has come under much controversy, with many deeming it a barbaric and exploitative sport. Nonetheless, White has stood stern on his belief that it has the potential to become a major combat sport and open new avenues for numerous fighters.
<ul>
 	<li>
<h3><strong>Throw One</strong></h3>
</li>
</ul>
It is a media company that was founded by the two original pillars of the UFC banner, Dana White and Lorenzo Fertitta. This venture operates as the parent company for numerous ventures, such as,-
<ul style="list-style-type: circle">
 	<li data-sourcepos="6:5-6:88"><strong>Power Slap:</strong> The controversial slap-fighting organization.</li>
 	<li data-sourcepos="7:5-7:53"><strong>Ridiculousness:</strong>Â A popular comedy clip show.</li>
 	<li data-sourcepos="8:5-8:75"><strong>Street League Skateboarding:</strong>Â A professional skateboarding league.</li>
 	<li data-sourcepos="9:5-9:62"><strong>Nitro Circus:</strong> A live-action stunt performance group.</li>
 	<li data-sourcepos="10:5-10:64"><strong>Travis Pastrana's NRX Rallycar:</strong>Â A rally racing series.</li>
</ul>
White's involvement currently stands as the co-founder and co-owner of the above. Further, the UFC head honcho is committed to UFC and restricts himself from promoting anything apart from the UFC.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><strong>Dana White's awards and accomplishments</strong></h2>
<ul>
 	<li><span style="font-weight: 400">Armed Forces Foundation - Patriot Award (2009)</span></li>
 	<li><span style="font-weight: 400">World MMA Awards - Leading Man of the Year (2008â€“23)</span></li>
 	<li><span style="font-weight: 400">Wrestling Observer Newsletter - Promoter of the Year (2005â€“13; 2015â€“16)</span></li>
 	<li><span style="font-weight: 400">Other accomplishments - Nevada Sportsman of the Year (2009)</span></li>
</ul>
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Dana White's foundation and charity</b></h2>
The UFC president also liberally utilizes his money for good causes. HeÂ has donated $100,000 toÂ <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/dustin-poirier/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Dustin Poirier</a>'s charity. In addition, he once gave $50,000 for a liver transplant to the daughter of one of the instructors at Tiger Muay Thai.

Also, he gave $100,000 to his former high school, and $1 million to the Las Vegas shooting victims.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Dana Whiteâ€™s house</strong></h2>
The UFC head's first notable house purchase was reported in 2006 when he bought a mansion in Pine Island Court, Las Vegas, from the American business mogul <b>Frank Fertitta </b>for $1.95 million. Thereafter he bought 3 more mansions in the same area from 2016 to 2017, which were later demolished, presumably to build his current mega mansion.

The current mansion boasts nine bedrooms, 12 bathrooms, a gym, a massage room, a basketball court, an arcade, a bar, and a kitchen, all worthy of a king.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Dana Whiteâ€™s car collection</strong></h2>
Complimenting his massive crib, and the luxurious office is his collection of vehicles that he has amassed over the years. But despite that, his first car was a 'rusted out Datsun B210.' Here are some of his prized possessions-
<ul>
 	<li>A Harley Davidson featuring the UFC logo, that was gifted by the company</li>
 	<li>Ducati and a MV Agusta F4</li>
 	<li>A classic red Ferrari Testarossa</li>
 	<li>A black Ferrari Spider F430</li>
 	<li>1971 Plymouth Barracuda</li>
 	<li>BMW M6 Gran Coupe</li>
</ul>
Apart from this, he has also gifted his beloved sons the gift of speed as their sweet sixteen gifts. His eldest son Aidan was bestowed with a customized Defender Works V8 70th Anniversary Edition, while Dana Jr. kept a BMW M6.

Keeping up with his busy schedule, it is not surprising that he owns a private jet, an indulgent Bombardier jet to be precise.

Additionally, White retained his position as the president of the UFC brand. White previously owned 9% of the UFC before he sold his stake to Endeavor for $340 million. In addition, White also worked as a co-promoter of theÂ Conor McGregor-Floyd Mayweather fight, thus making his debut in boxing scenes. However, soon he lost interest as he labeled boxing promotion as a &#8220;broken business&#8221; in 2022. Another brainchild of White, The Power Slap, debuted in January 2023, on which White worked as a producer. Dana Whiteâ€™s health: Weight loss, fasting &amp; transformation Over the last few years, Dana White&#8217;s health has undergone a massive transformation, and now he is seemingly in his best health. His life coach and founder of 10X Health System, Garry Brecka had even predicted that at the rate White was indulging in bad habits and ignoring his health, he might only have a decade left. He had previously been wrongly diagnosed with idiopathic depression, and the medications took a toll on him. Later, the mogul also suffered from dangerously high blood pressure, was overweight, and had a high triglyceride count, which allowed Brecka to reach his conclusion. And according to him, marking the life expectancy only validated the urgency for White. He would soon make massive strides in his lifestyle and share with the world his secrets. He followed a holistic plan with the help of Brecka that included the right diet, supplements, and exercise. His diet included high fat but low carbs, to induce ketosis, a method by which fat is broken down into ketones. It also included an 86-hour water-fast regimen that was so transformative that White couldn&#8217;t help but share it with the world. Now White continues to be healthier than ever and includes other innovative techniques such as ice baths to up his health game. After all, to be the president of the world&#8217;s biggest MMA promotion is no joke and only a healthy man can play the long haul. Dana Whiteâ€™s other businesses and endorsements A man of many talents, the man who made UFC the biggest MMA promotion in the world has numerous other ventures under his sleeve. Here are some enlisted-  Power Slap  White is the founder and promoter of Power Slap, an unconventional fighting organization that was launched in 2022. Since then, it has come under much controversy, with many deeming it a barbaric and exploitative sport. Nonetheless, White has stood stern on his belief that it has the potential to become a major combat sport and open new avenues for numerous fighters.  Throw One  It is a media company that was founded by the two original pillars of the UFC banner, Dana White and Lorenzo Fertitta. This venture operates as the parent company for numerous ventures, such as,- Power Slap: The controversial slap-fighting organization. Ridiculousness:Â A popular comedy clip show. Street League Skateboarding:Â A professional skateboarding league. Nitro Circus: A live-action stunt performance group. Travis Pastrana&#8217;s NRX Rallycar:Â A rally racing series. White&#8217;s involvement currently stands as the co-founder and co-owner of the above. Further, the UFC head honcho is committed to UFC and restricts himself from promoting anything apart from the UFC. Dana White&#8217;s awards and accomplishments Armed Forces Foundation &#8211; Patriot Award (2009) World MMA Awards &#8211; Leading Man of the Year (2008â€“23) Wrestling Observer Newsletter &#8211; Promoter of the Year (2005â€“13; 2015â€“16) Other accomplishments &#8211; Nevada Sportsman of the Year (2009) Dana White&#8217;s foundation and charity The UFC president also liberally utilizes his money for good causes. HeÂ has donated $100,000 toÂ Dustin Poirier&#8216;s charity. In addition, he once gave $50,000 for a liver transplant to the daughter of one of the instructors at Tiger Muay Thai. Also, he gave $100,000 to his former high school, and $1 million to the Las Vegas shooting victims. Dana Whiteâ€™s house The UFC head&#8217;s first notable house purchase was reported in 2006 when he bought a mansion in Pine Island Court, Las Vegas, from the American business mogul Frank Fertitta for $1.95 million. Thereafter he bought 3 more mansions in the same area from 2016 to 2017, which were later demolished, presumably to build his current mega mansion. The current mansion boasts nine bedrooms, 12 bathrooms, a gym, a massage room, a basketball court, an arcade, a bar, and a kitchen, all worthy of a king. Dana Whiteâ€™s car collection Complimenting his massive crib, and the luxurious office is his collection of vehicles that he has amassed over the years. But despite that, his first car was a &#8216;rusted out Datsun B210.&#8217; Here are some of his prized possessions- A Harley Davidson featuring the UFC logo, that was gifted by the company Ducati and a MV Agusta F4 A classic red Ferrari Testarossa A black Ferrari Spider F430 1971 Plymouth Barracuda BMW M6 Gran Coupe Apart from this, he has also gifted his beloved sons the gift of speed as their sweet sixteen gifts. His eldest son Aidan was bestowed with a customized Defender Works V8 70th Anniversary Edition, while Dana Jr. kept a BMW M6. Keeping up with his busy schedule, it is not surprising that he owns a private jet, an indulgent Bombardier jet to be precise. How to contact Dana White?

<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center">Paulo Costa 2024: Record, Net Worth, Salary and Ranking and More</h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Who is Paulo Costa?</strong></h2>
Paulo Costa is arguably the most dangerous middleweight of this generation. The Brazilian fighter started his MMA career on the regional circuits of Brazil and eventually fought his way to the UFC. Costa started training in Muay Thai to learn self-discipline, as he often found himself getting involved in street fights.
<figure class="jsx-b9c5e7fc3c08d611">
<div class="jsx-2877115474 es-image-loader-aspect-ratio"><img id="img-tag-node--img-loader-0" class="jsx-2877115474" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/UFC253_WI_JH_20200925_9645_2020092550136125.jpg" /></div>

</figcaption></figure>
'Borrachinha' began training under his older brother, who was also a mixed martial artist. He joined a Jiu-Jitsu gym but had to leave it after his father passed away. However, 'Borrachinha' returned to the gym after some time.

Besides that, he got involved in <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.mmafighting.com/2019/8/17/20809028/troublemaker-paulo-costa-endless-quest-greatness-ufc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">real estate</a> and taught Microsoft Excel and Word to support his mother. As of May 2024, he sits at #7 in the UFC middleweight <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.ufc.com/rankings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rankings</a>.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Paulo Costaâ€™s Early Life</strong></h2>
Costa was born 21st of April 1991 to Carlos Roberto and Maria Augusta in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. He also has an elder brother, Carlo Costa. His father Carlos Roberto worked various odd jobs to sustain the family. He sadly passed away after a battle with throat cancer when Costa was only 17. Carlo was also a mixed martial artist, probably setting a precedent for young Paulo, and was also later one of the UFC champs coaches.

Apart from this, Costa's earlier career projects him to be quite tech-savvy. At one point in his life, he used to teach different computer software and similar gigs to help out his family financially. Nonetheless, not much about his educational qualifications is commonly known.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><strong>Paulo Costaâ€™s Girlfriend</strong></h2>
Paulo Costa is in a relationship with his l<a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/ufc-mma-news-paulo-costas-relationships-all-about-his-girlfriend-tamara-alvez-and-tracy-cortez-rumors/">ong-time girlfriend Tamara Alves</a>, who is quite the boss girl herself. She is a Civil engineer, and much like her partner, she is a fitness freak herself and has incorporated her passion as the founder of <strong>MundoFit</strong>. Her brand focuses on supplements and other fitness accessories.

The pair met each other in 2013, through Alves' cousin's husband, who trained with Costa in the same gym. And in a true rom-com fashion, he introduced "<em>this very handsome guy at the gym" </em>during a jiu-jitsu championship the gym was hosting. And despite greeting each other, they did not talk. However, later while Costa left an impression on Alves, he couldn't muster up the courage to ask for her number and asked her friend for that information instead. A classic!

Apart from this, Alves also reportedly manages his UFC affairs and Costa is reaping the benefits of being able toÂ <em>"kiss the manager."</em>
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center">Paulo Costa: Net Worth and Salary 2024</h2>
Costa is relatively new to the sport. However, he has received a decent amount of money for his fights, and overall, he has made over $938,167 in his UFC career according to <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://thesportsdaily.com/2020/09/27/paulo-costa-career-earnings-fox11/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Sports Daily</a>. This does not include undisclosed bonuses and other sources of income.

As of 2021, he has an estimated net worth of over $1 million, according toÂ <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.mediareferee.com/2020/09/23/paulo-costa-net-worth/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Media Referee</a>. With more fights coming his way, many sources also estimated it to be double that.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center">Paulo Costa: UFC Career Timeline</h2>
Paulo Costa has an explosive style of fighting. Right off the bat, he puts a tremendous amount of pressure on his opponents. The Brazilian walks his opponents down and lands devastating body strikes that ultimately lead to openings.

Paulo Costa first appeared in the third season of The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil, 2014. Although he won his first bout, 'The Eraser' lost his next fight via a split decision to Marcio Alexandre Jr. Fortunately for him, this loss does not appear on his pro record as it was considered an exhibition match.

[caption id="" align="alignnone" width="1200"]<img id="img-tag-node--img-loader-0" class="jsx-3245111776" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/UFC253_JH_20200927_4238A_2020092693528699.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="800" /> via Imago[/caption]

Paulo Costa did not let the setback from TUF define his career. The middleweight continued racking up victories and went on an eight-fight win streak before joining the UFC. Surprisingly, Costa has garnered a lot of popularity, almost reaching a superstar already.

Costa put himself on the map after decimating former welterweight champion Johny Hendricks at UFC 217. He then stoppedÂ <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/uriah-hall/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Uriah Hall</a> in his tracks and out-muscled Yoel Romero in the following year. His last bout was against <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/israel-adesanya/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Israel Adesanya</a>, where he suffered his first-ever professional loss via technical knockout at UFC 253.

Next, he faced <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/marvin-vettori/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Marvin Vettori</a> at UFC Fight Night: Costa vs. Vettori. Despite losing the bout via decision, he redeemed himself in his next against Luke Rockhold. After this decision win, he fought Robert Whittaker in <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/ufc-298-alexander-volkanovski-vs-ilia-topuria/">UFC 298: Volkanovski vs. Topuria</a> on February 17, 2024. Unfortunately, 'The Eraser' lost this fight despite putting up an incredible performance. His current record stands at 14-3-0. Now, he is going to fight Sean Strickland at UFC 302.

Costa might not be the most accurate striker, but every strike he throws is meant to hurt the opposition. He throws a lot of those strikes in the opening rounds. However, this style of fighting has its own drawbacks. As Costa's cardio fades away as the fight progresses, it becomes very difficult for him to put the same pace as the first round. So he might be looking for a finish this time around against the mighty Whittaker.

Paulo Costa

Paulo Costa 2024: Record, Net Worth, Salary and Ranking and More Who is Paulo Costa? Paulo Costa is arguably the most dangerous middleweight of this generation. The Brazilian fighter started his MMA career on the regional circuits of Brazil and eventually fought his way to the UFC. Costa started training in Muay Thai to learn self-discipline, as he often found himself getting involved in street fights.  via Getty &#8216;Borrachinha&#8217; began training under his older brother, who was also a mixed martial artist. He joined a Jiu-Jitsu gym but had to leave it after his father passed away. However, &#8216;Borrachinha&#8217; returned to the gym after some time. Besides that, he got involved in real estate and taught Microsoft Excel and Word to support his mother. As of May 2024, he sits at #7 in the UFC middleweight rankings. Paulo Costaâ€™s Early Life Costa was born 21st of April 1991 to Carlos Roberto and Maria Augusta in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. He also has an elder brother, Carlo Costa. His father Carlos Roberto worked various odd jobs to sustain the family. He sadly passed away after a battle with throat cancer when Costa was only 17. Carlo was also a mixed martial artist, probably setting a precedent for young Paulo, and was also later one of the UFC champs coaches. Apart from this, Costa&#8217;s earlier career projects him to be quite tech-savvy. At one point in his life, he used to teach different computer software and similar gigs to help out his family financially. Nonetheless, not much about his educational qualifications is commonly known. Paulo Costaâ€™s Girlfriend Paulo Costa is in a relationship with his long-time girlfriend Tamara Alves, who is quite the boss girl herself. She is a Civil engineer, and much like her partner, she is a fitness freak herself and has incorporated her passion as the founder of MundoFit. Her brand focuses on supplements and other fitness accessories. The pair met each other in 2013, through Alves&#8217; cousin&#8217;s husband, who trained with Costa in the same gym. And in a true rom-com fashion, he introduced &#8220;this very handsome guy at the gym&#8221; during a jiu-jitsu championship the gym was hosting. And despite greeting each other, they did not talk. However, later while Costa left an impression on Alves, he couldn&#8217;t muster up the courage to ask for her number and asked her friend for that information instead. A classic! Apart from this, Alves also reportedly manages his UFC affairs and Costa is reaping the benefits of being able toÂ &#8220;kiss the manager.&#8221; Paulo Costa: Net Worth and Salary 2024 Costa is relatively new to the sport. However, he has received a decent amount of money for his fights, and overall, he has made over $938,167 in his UFC career according to The Sports Daily. This does not include undisclosed bonuses and other sources of income. As of 2021, he has an estimated net worth of over $1 million, according toÂ Media Referee. With more fights coming his way, many sources also estimated it to be double that. Paulo Costa: UFC Career Timeline Paulo Costa has an explosive style of fighting. Right off the bat, he puts a tremendous amount of pressure on his opponents. The Brazilian walks his opponents down and lands devastating body strikes that ultimately lead to openings. Paulo Costa first appeared in the third season of The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil, 2014. Although he won his first bout, &#8216;The Eraser&#8217; lost his next fight via a split decision to Marcio Alexandre Jr. Fortunately for him, this loss does not appear on his pro record as it was considered an exhibition match. via Imago Paulo Costa did not let the setback from TUF define his career. The middleweight continued racking up victories and went on an eight-fight win streak before joining the UFC. Surprisingly, Costa has garnered a lot of popularity, almost reaching a superstar already. Costa put himself on the map after decimating former welterweight champion Johny Hendricks at UFC 217. He then stoppedÂ Uriah Hall in his tracks and out-muscled Yoel Romero in the following year. His last bout was against Israel Adesanya, where he suffered his first-ever professional loss via technical knockout at UFC 253. Next, he faced Marvin Vettori at UFC Fight Night: Costa vs. Vettori. Despite losing the bout via decision, he redeemed himself in his next against Luke Rockhold. After this decision win, he fought Robert Whittaker in UFC 298: Volkanovski vs. Topuria on February 17, 2024. Unfortunately, &#8216;The Eraser&#8217; lost this fight despite putting up an incredible performance. His current record stands at 14-3-0. Now, he is going to fight Sean Strickland at UFC 302. Costa might not be the most accurate striker, but every strike he throws is meant to hurt the opposition. He throws a lot of those strikes in the opening rounds. However, this style of fighting has its own drawbacks. As Costa&#8217;s cardio fades away as the fight progresses, it becomes very difficult for him to put the same pace as the first round. So he might be looking for a finish this time around against the mighty Whittaker.
