UFC 241 and Title Contention
At UFC 241 in August 2019, Costa faced his toughest opponent yet in Yoel Romero. The fight was highly anticipated, as Romero was returning from a suspension related to a failed drug test—later confirmed to be the result of a tainted supplement. Costa won the closely contested bout via unanimous decision, though the result was controversial and met with loud boos from the audience, many of whom favored Romero. Despite the crowd's reaction, the win positioned Costa as the next top contender for the UFC Middleweight Championship.
