One of the bantamweight division’s rising prospects will have to wait a little bit longer for his fourth UFC appearance. In a statement posted on Twitter, Randy Costa announced his withdrawal Monday from UFC 259 due to an undisclosed injury. Costa (6-1 MMA, 2-1 UFC) was supposed to fight Trevin Jones on the preliminary card of the March 6 event. The UFC is currently seeking a replacement opponent to fight Jones (13-6 MMA, 1-0 UFC). Costa, 26, didn’t specify his injury, though he said it’s nagged him for weeks before a flare-up caused him to pull out of the fight.
