It seems Khamzat Chimaev has taken a leaf out of Dillon Danis and Conor McGregor’s book as he targets Paulo Costa’s girlfriend. The two will face each other in the co-main event for UFC 294 in the UAE. The Brazilian shared screenshots of ‘Borz’s DMs to his girlfriend. The UAE citizen sent her images of Israel Adesanya humiliating ‘Borrachina’ after defeating him at UFC 253.

Paulo Costa, who has credited his physique to his proprietary ‘Secret Juice’ has been tested a whopping 33 times by USADA, the most among all UFC fighters. Jon Jones has been tested 21 times by the agency, tied with bantamweight and Sean O’Malley beater Marlon ‘Chito’ Vera and Sharabutdin Magomedov who will make his UFC debut on October 21.
