At the age of 31, Paulo Costa's career is rising like a kite. He used to have the opportunity to compete with Israel Adesanya in the framework of the UFC 253 event but failed. It was the only match that Costa had to give in when playing in the Middleweight weight class, after 13 consecutive victories.
In October 2021, Costa tried his best at Light Heavyweight and received another defeat. That seems to be an excuse for him to dismiss the long -standing manager, Walid Ismail, one of the first generation MMA boxers. Ismail is like a person to raise Costa to become the current top boxer.
“I can't say anything bad about Walid. He is honest, very professional at work,” Costa said. “I can only give him compliments, but we have different views about my career in the future. That's why I decided to go to everyone.”
The controversial Walid Ismail's dismissal because it took place only 2 weeks before UFC 278 took place. At that event, Costa had to fight the former champion Luke Rockhor. Instead of appointing an experienced person and professional knowledge, Costa decided to choose a long -time girlfriend, Tamara Alves.
As a sports model, Tamara Alves owns a gym in his home town of Brazil. This is where she and Costa met in 2013. Tamara's brother -in -law worked as a coach to train Costa in that gym, and he became “Mr. To” introduced, matching the two of them together.
As the management of Paulo Costa, Tamara Alves will be responsible for negotiating for the matches of this boxer, as well as the contract and advertising contract.
