UFC star Paulo Costa has taken a shot at Khamzat Chimaev following their altercation during UFC 279 fight week. Now that the dust has settled on UFC 279, it’s safe to say that it was probably one of the most turbulent weeks in recent memory for the promotion.
From scraps backstage to cancelled press conferences to a whole host of fighters missing weight, we can’t imagine Dana White is going to look back too fondly on what went down in Las Vegas.
One of the biggest casualties came in the form of Khamzat Chimaev who, in many ways, did his reputation a lot of harm outside of his actual Octagon performance.
Prior to submitting Kevin Holland in the co-main event, ‘Borz’ missed weight by 7.5 pounds and was therefore removed from his scheduled main event against Nate Diaz.
