Jiri Prochazka claims UFC offered Paulo Costa a light
\nheavyweight matchup<\/h2>\n

Costa has taken shots at fellow light heavyweight contenders ahead
\nof the final bout on his current contract. The former middleweight
\ntitle challenger criticized former champion Magomed
\nAnkalaev<\/a>\u2019s performance at
\nUFC Abu Dhabi<\/a> and also mocked Prochazka for his loss to current
\ntitleholder Carlos
\nUlberg<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Prochazka has now clapped back at “Borrachinha,\u201d claiming that the
\nlatter shouldn\u2019t mention his name unless they\u2019re actually slated to
\nfight. The Czech star added that the promotion has already offered
\nthe fight to Costa.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is just a quick message for Paulo Costa,\u201d Prochazka said on
\nInstagram. \u201cDon\u2019t tag me, don\u2019t mention me in your posts. Because
\nyou have a offer from UFC to fight me in October or November. And
\nif you don\u2019t want to fight me, don\u2019t mention me, don\u2019t speak about
\nme. I\u2019m waiting for the contract for this fight.\u201d<\/p>\n

The light heavyweight title picture is complicated by Ulberg\u2019s
\ninjury, as the Kiwi champion is expected to be out until next year.
\nAnkalaev\u2019s lackluster win, Dana
\nWhite<\/a> suggesting an interim title bout, Prochazka looking to
\nrebound from a frustrating loss and Costa eyeing the right matchup
\nto close out his contract have added to the drama at 205
\npounds.<\/p>\n
