Alan Nascimento, the Brazilian jiu-jitsu coach of Swedish UFC fighter Khamzat Chimaev, said his ward is ready to fight former UFC middleweight title challenger Paulo Costa.

If the UFC wants it, we can do it at UFC 283. The UFC is a company that wants big numbers, that wants results, that wants to sell. So I believe if the UFC wants this fight, they will get it.
The UFC 283 tournament will take place on January 21 in Brazil.
Recall that on the night of August 21 at UFC 278, Paulo Costa defeated Luke Rockhold by unanimous decision of the judges. Costa, 31, has 14 wins and two losses on his record.
Chimaev, 28, defeated Kevin Holland by submission (D'Arce choke) in the first round on the night of September 11 at UFC 279. He has 12 wins and no losses under his belt.
