Khamzat Chimaev sent Costa’s girlfriend a picture from Costa’s fight against Israel Adesanya. In the picture, it looks like the fighter is struggling to keep up against ‘Izzy‘ as he’s down on the mat. Obviously, Chimaev managed to make an obscene remark out of a fight. He sent a text message that read,
“Haw you can be together with this sh*t, he like bl**k boys.”
The comment obviously set something off in Costa who’s ready to face off against the Chechen soon. However, instead of taking an aggressive approach, Costa decided to go with humiliating ‘Borz’ in a different way. He put out a relatively longer response to the weird text and put up Chimaev’s picture right next to the screenshot of his text. He wrote,
“I gonna report this harassment by Gourmet Chen Chen towards my girlfriend/future mother of my childres and manager. I felt threatened by this handsome guy calling her on dm please @Tamaraalves2 Don’t be fooled by that beautiful face inshala”
The caption to Costa’s tweet is rich with humor. This is no different than his girlfriend’s usual attitude against trolls online. When the tweet was shared to Reddit, fans were immediately in splits thanks to Paulo Costa calling Chimaev a “Gourmet Chen Chen.” Here is what went down on Reddit.
