It appears the UFC tried to book Jan Blachowicz against Paulo Costa in a light heavyweight bout, though whether it comes to fruition remains to be seen. UFC 288 recently lost it’s co-main event bout between Charles Oliveira and Beneil Dariush due to injury, leaving Dana White looking for a new co-headliner for the May 6 event in Newark, N.J..
