Follow Us
Former UFC middleweight title challenger, Paulo Costa continues to run wild on Twitter. His activities on social media often produce some hilarious moments that can entertain the MMA community. From time to time, Costa takes aim at fellow middleweight fighters including Luke Rockhold, Israel Adesanya, and he even got in a verbal spat with UFC president Dana White.
The middleweight contender has been on a decline ever since his loss to Adesanya in 2020. Upon his return in 2021, he faced another former title challenger in Marvin Vettori but failed to secure a win. Additionally, he also failed to make the 185 lbs limit and showed up around 20 pounds heavier. As a result, the promotion turned it into a light-heavyweight contest.
