Paulo Costa has no plans to let his heated rivalry with Khamzat Chimaev cool off anytime soon.

The entire UFC 318 main card, along with Max Holloway vs. Dustin Poirier, had faceoffs at the press conference.

Paulo Costa finally storms back into the octagon at UFC 318 this weekend (Sat., July 19, 2025) against No. 14-seeded Roman Kopylov, aiming to rediscover the ferocious "Borrachinha" that once electrified fans.

After scoring five wins in a row, and beating the likes of Johny Hendricks and Yoel Romero, Costa was finally given his title shot against ‘The Last Stylebender’ at UFC 253. Ahead of their clash, Costa was being credited with being the one with the best chance of dethroning Adesanya because of his athleticism and powerful striking arsenal.

On the second episode of UFC 318 "Embedded," Paulo Costa finishes his camp feeling the utmost confident before his fight.
