Mixed Martial Arts is a sport where a fighter pays his dues with his blood, sweat, and tears. With the injuries fighters sustain, it is a brutal sport. Although, along with its brutality, MMA also brings a lot of glory and fame to its athletes. With this fame they receive, fighters do their best to engage with fans whether it is through the meet & greet or Social Media. One such fighter, who is very active on social media, is Paulo Costa.
