Most fans may have witnessed several UFC fighters going no-holds-barred with their trash-talking. One bunch of UFC stars like Khabib Nurmagomedov are pretty respectful even in their fight-building approach. Yet, we have also seen UFC stars like Chael Sonnen and Conor McGregor, who openly fire shots at their rivals. However, a recent incident revealed that the noted undefeated UFC fighter, Khamzat Chimaev, resorted to an all-new method to get under his upcoming rival’s skin.

As most fans already know, ‘Borz’ has his next fight against the famed UFC Middleweight, Paulo Costa at UFC 294. But what ‘Borz’ did to get inside Costa’s mind may cause a number of fans to express distaste towards him. Further, his rival, Costa, threatened to report this incident which he labeled as “harassment”.

Well, the Chechnyan decided to target Costa’s girlfriend and manager, Tamara Alves, to get underneath his skin. ‘Borz’ sent two DMs to Alves through his Instagram that showcased Costa getting battered in his fight against the former UFC Middleweight champ, Israel Adesanya.

The words Chimaev wrote also turned off a number of fans who called him racist as well. His words read, “Haw [How] can you be together with his s*it, he likes bl**k boys”. However, Alves leaked out Chimaev’s DMs to her boyfriend, ‘The Eraser’, who then publicized Chimaev’s deeds with an ‘X’ update.

 

The words in Costa’s ‘X’ update were enough to reveal that he didn’t take all of this too well. After all, he called this “harassment”. But, looking at the emojis in his tweet, and his nature, several fans might also say that Costa was rather having a laugh at Chimaev’s attempts to get under his skin.
