That was fast.
Not long after the promotion signed the Paulo Costa vs. Brunno Ferreira fight for UFC 326 on March 7 in Las Vegas, “The Eraser” withdrew from the Paramount+ lineup for undisclosed reasons.
That’s according to Leo Guimaraes, who first reported the booking back on Dec. 16.
The 34 year-old Costa (15-4) has not competed since his unanimous decision victory over Roman Kopylov at UFC 318 back in July. As for Ferreira, 33, he improved to 15-2 by outlasting middleweight veteran Marvin Vettori as part of the UFC 323 lineup earlier this month in Las Vegas.
Costa is currently ranked No. 13 at 185 pounds while “The Hulk” has yet to crack the Top 15.
UFC 326 will be headlined by the “BMF” fight between Max Holloway and Charles Oliveira. Elsewhere on the card, Brian Ortega and Renato Moicano run it back not long after Caio Borralho and Reinier de Ridder collide for a spot in the 185-pound title chase.
