Paulo Costa Scares Dana White At UFC 278 Press Conference

UFC President Dana White was scared by Paulo Costa when he leaped forward into a staredown with his UFC 278 co-headliner Luke Rockhold.

This came after a press conference of back-and-forth insults. However, Costa still urged an angry Rockhold to “be cool” as they faced off following the press conference for Saturday’s pay-per-view at Vivint Arena in Salt Lake City.

Despite this, White still kept his arms between the two fighters just in case as they posed for the media.

Welterweight champion Kamaru Usman and challenger Leon Edwards took a few playful shots at each other. When it came time to face off, they were intense and respectful for their second-to-last interaction before fight night on Saturday.
