Luke Rockhold is willing to accept a fight with Paulo Costa if he misses weight – but only by a certain limit. After a three-year layoff, Rockhold (16-5 MMA, 6-4 UFC) will return to his original division of middleweight when he faces Costa (13-2 MMA, 5-2 UFC) on July 30 at UFC 277. Costa is coming off a unanimous decision loss to Marvin Vettori last October, a fight that was contested at light heavyweight after Costa struggled to make the 185-pound mark. Although UFC president Dana White stated that Costa needs to move up a weight class , the former title challenger has signed to fight Rockhold at middleweight.
