Caio Borralho is an exciting upcoming talent in the UFC middleweight division. Hailing from Brazil, Borralho is on an 11-fight win streak in his MMA career. The fighter has combined his judo and jiu-jitsu very well in order to stay undefeated. While Borralho is making waves inside the octagon, he is making sure that his voice is heard outside it too.

The rising middleweight recently called out Khabib Nurmagomedov on his Twitter. The saga originally started when Borralho beat Russian UFC middleweight Gadzhi Omargadzhiev. While Omargadzhiev and Nurmagomedov are not related to each other apart from being compatriots, Borralho looked to ignite a rivalry by poking fun at the latter.

It is a known fact that Nurmagomedov hails sambo over Jiu-Jitsu. Borralho, in his tweet to Nurmagomedov, hinted that fighters from Dagestan need to work on the latter. Borralho wrote, “IM SORRY @TeamKhabib! Dagestani guys need to train more jiu jitsu I can help u guys, just send me location”
