UFC President Dana White has spoken harshly about former middleweight title challenger Paulo Costa, who previously expressed dissatisfaction with the terms of his new contract.

Paulo Costa is a f- psycho. He's acting like crazy. He went and spoke publicly about our offer. But I will tell you that his words were pretty damn far from the truth. That's the first time I ever brought it up. You see, these guys will say such things because they know I'm not going to speak out about it publicly. I really don't care, though.
Costa previously accused the UFC of bias against Brazilians, saying the promotion purposely pays them less because the Brazilian real (currency) is five times less than the dollar.
Paulo was scheduled to fight former division champion Robert Whittaker at UFC 284 on February 12, but turned down the fight due to contract terms.
Costa had his last fight against American Luke Rockhold in August of this year at UFC 278. Paulo won that fight by unanimous decision. He has 14 wins and two losses under his belt. Whittaker has 24 wins and six losses.
