The upcoming UFC 294 bout between Paulo Costa and Khamzat Chimaev is in jeopardy due to Costa's recent elbow surgery. Dana White, the president of UFC, has stated that the fight may be off and that they are talking to potential replacements. White expects to have a definite answer soon. The co-main event between Costa and Chimaev is also uncertain, and the UFC is struggling to find a replacement for Costa. Marvin Vettori has reportedly declined the opportunity. Costa himself has claimed that he is ready to fight, but Chimaev is already looking for a replacement. The current state of UFC 294 is uncertain, and fans are speculating on who could potentially step in to fight Chimaev. In a surprising turn of events, Dana White has announced that he has pulled out of UFC 294. Costa has been officially pulled from the fight, and the new co-main event will be Chimaev against Kamaru Usman. Costa has cited doctor's orders as the reason for his withdrawal. The UFC is searching for a replacement, but nothing has been confirmed yet. Daniel Cormier has teased that the potential replacement fight for Chimaev will make fans "lose their minds."
