WNBA star Brittney Griner was involved in a sensational swap deal with Russian Viktor Bout. This incident took social media by storm after the Russian government released Griner. Even UFC Fighter Paulo Costa had to give his two cents on the matter. And he was brutally honest in his tweet, as we know him to be. Costa decoded Russian president Vladimir Putin’s genius plan to release a dangerous arms dealer. However, the Griner supporters are glad that she’s safe and back on U.S. Soil. However, some entities are concerned about the swap, calling it a really “bad deal”.

Brittney Griner was sentenced to 9 years in a Russian penal colony to serve her sentence. But there was a recent breakthrough in the case. When a Russian expert cracked the real truth behind this ordeal.

Paulo Costa has a snide comment on the Brittney Griner swap deal

UFC middleweight contender Paulo Costa took a jibe at the prison swap deal between the U.S. and Russian governments. The self-proclaimed meme lord took to Twitter to express his educated opinion on the political matter.

He wrote, “Putin trade Viktor Bout (lord of war) for a WNBA caught with m*rijuana oil. Lol Well , at least they booth can sh*ot now” and posted pictures of Viktor Bout, Brittney Griner, and actor Nicolas Cage.

‘The Eraser’ made a snide remark about how Griner possessed illegal substances. And was sentenced to serve 9 years in a penal colony for that offense. Costa, however, was not on the same page with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
