Paulo Costa will have a front row seat for Israel Adesanya vs. Yoel Romero at UFC 248.<\/p>\n

In the main event of UFC 248, Adesanya will look to defend his middleweight title when he battles Romero<\/a>. Originally, the fight was supposed to be Adesanya vs. Paulo Costa<\/a>, but the Brazilain suffered a bicep injury forcing him to be out a couple of months leaving Romero to get the title shot.<\/p>\n

For Costa, he knows he will be fighting the winner but he’s interested in seeing if Adesanya will be able to beat Romero as he did.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll be there to see if Adesanya can beat Romero like I did,\u201d Costa told MMA Fighting<\/a>. \u201cEverybody wants to see that, if he can beat Romero or not. I believe Adesanya himself feels he has to prove he can beat Romero, too, so I\u2019ll be there watching.\u201d<\/p>\n

Costs and Adesanya have a rivalry as Costa has said to BJPENN.com he plans on ‘killing’ the champ when they fight<\/a>. “The Last Stylebender” was also skeptical of the Brazilian’s injury as he said he is a juice monkey.<\/p>\n

There is no question the two don’t like each other and a fight between them would do big business. But, first, Adesanya will need to get past Romero, which Costa isn’t sure about.<\/p>\n

So, he’s going to Vegas to see who his next opponent is.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll be able to train everything,\u201d Costa said. \u201cI\u2019ll be there, front row, at UFC 248. Let\u2019s see who\u2019s next.\u201d<\/p>\n

Paulo Costa fought Yoel Romero at UFC 241 where Costa earned a unanimous decision win to improve to 13-0<\/a>. In his career, he also has notable wins over Uriah Hall and Johnny Hendricks among others.<\/p>\n

It seems likely Costa will be fighting whoever wins the UFC 248 main event for the belt next.<\/p>\n

What do you make of Paulo Costa planning on being front row at UFC 248? Sound off in the comment section, PENN Nation!<\/p>\n
