In the co-main event of UFC 298, we have a fight in the middleweight division between two of the division’s best, No. 3 ranked Robert Whittaker and No.6 ranked Paulo Costa. Whittaker is coming off only his second TKO loss in his middleweight career at the hands of the current middleweight champion Dricus Due Plessis. Meanwhile, Costa is coming off a lengthy layoff most recently defeating Luke Rockhold via unanimous decision back in August 2022 after a fight cancellation and staph infection kept him out of competition. This fight has the makings of an absolute barnburner and is a great fight to serve as the co-main event for this fight night event.
Whittaker’s last fight was only his second knockout defeat in his middleweight career when he got knocked out by the newly minted UFC middleweight champion Dricus Du Plessis. He walked away with an estimated base salary of $250,000, and with a promotional bonus, he walked away with an estimated $266,000.
