Surging UFC middleweight Paulo Costa hopes his next fight is against Chris Weidman – on Weidman’s home turf. Costa told MMAjunkie Radio he’s pushing for a meeting with ex-champ Weidman (14-3 MMA, 10-3 UFC) at UFC 230, which takes place Nov. 3 at Madison Square Garden in New York City. “This fight can show who gets the next title shot after Kelvin Gastelum,” said Costa (12-0 MMA, 4-0 UFC), who this past weekend at UFC 226 stopped Uriah Hall (13-9 MMA, 6-7 UFC) to pick up his fourth straight UFC win .
