Paulo Costa might just be the spark that the UFC middleweight division needs. Of course, we mean in humor and entertainment. He’s been down the fight road, and things turned out the way they did till now. Costa is spending a lot of time on Twitter, and we won’t lie- The memes and jokes are hilarious. Moreover, the middleweight seems to have a great sense of humor and sarcasm in all of his videos. 

The UFC middleweight regularly takes shots at fighters on his Twitter account and makes videos every once in a while. Brendan Schaub and former UFC welterweight Ben Askren were the latest to come under his radar. ‘Borrachinha’ took a dig at Schaub’s stand-up comedy stint and Ben Askren’s literal stand-up game in MMA.

The Lesser Known Journey of Israel Adesanya Before UFC

Reposting a meme and captioning it with a rather straightforward statement about Schaub’s tenacity for comedy, the #4 ranked UFC middleweight tweeted, “Hard question. When I heard Brendan Ive been glad for not understand English.” 

As we all know, Costa struggled with English during his journey in the UFC. Despite improving a lot, ‘Borrachinha’ seems to regret learning the language after hearing the former MMA fighter turned stand-up comedian’s jokes.

Paulo Costa spared no expense in a good dig coming to Ben Askren. A proficient wrestler, ‘Funky’ is known for the lack of stand-up game in his MMA career. Lauded as one of the most underwhelming stand-up abilities in the fight game, Costa didn’t miss his chance to take a shot at both of them with one meme.

Perhaps some more time and a bit more clarity about his future in the middleweight division could clear up doubts about future opponents. Whatever happens, Costa will end up fighting a top middleweight sometime in 2022.

As a Business student, Rohit’s love for the UFC was double-sided with the business of it being just as intriguing as the martial arts aspect of it. “Don't just fight, perform” is a quote that he believes drives the most entertaining fights of the UFC, with the likes of Conor McGregor, Chael Sonnen, and Israel Adesanya sweeping him off his feet with their skill as well as swagger and trash talk capabilities.
