Social Media has been a tool used by ‘The Eraser’ to showcase his quick-witted nature and persona. He constantly trolls fellow fighters in a rather direct manner, to say the least. However, a recent comment did not go down well with Costa.

A Twitter user got under the Brazilian’s skin when he made a comment towards a woman featured in Costa’s video. The woman in question is believed to be Costa’s partner.

The future title challenger did not take well to the user’s remarks and fired back.

Paulo Costa, the definition of ferocity

The orthodox power puncher has shown to be equally ferocious inside and outside the octagon. Ever since his debut appearance, ‘Borrachinha’ has put on one dominant performance after the next. He was a highly touted prospect as soon as he made his debut in 2017. Very few fighters have captured an entire division’s notice. Moreover, he has yet to falter under the bright lights.

The undefeated fighter has managed to maintain an insanely high finish rate in his 13 fight career. Barring his most recent bout against Yoel Romero, Costa has stopped every opponent he’s stood across from.

The Middleweight juggernaut is all but certain to face Israel Adesanya for the undisputed championship. The two elite Middleweights have plenty of bad blood going into their potential title bout. Fight fans salivate at the high-pressure striking battle that the match-up promises on paper.
