In the latest of his internet shenanigans, UFC middleweight Paulo Costa had a hilarious interaction with a user on social media.
Costa posted two pictures on his Twitter account. One was of himself with Irish superstar Conor McGregor's tattoos morphed onto his body. The other was a screenshot of an interaction he had with a fan in the Instagram comments section.
A fan had asked 'Borrachinha' to comfort her after her boyfriend had left her. The Brazilian replied by denying the request. He wrote:
"I'm a family guy sorry"
Check out Costa's Twitter post below:
MMA fans on Twitter were in splits upon seeing Costa's post and shared their reactions to it.
Costa's Twitter account is never short on entertainment value. The Brazilian keeps posting funny memes of himself and other fighters, giving a regular dose of humor to MMA fans.
Some of Costa's Twitter posts can be seen below:
Middleweight champion Israel Adesanya is also a fan of his former challenger's social media antics. 'The Last Stylebender' stated the same during a show on ESPN MMA:
"Honestly, his [Paulo Costa's] Twitter's fun. I literally like his Twitter. He still talks sh*t about me constantly but hey man, I'm sorry I can't pay child support, that's all I gotta say, I'm sorry."
Watch the video below:
Paulo Costa will return to action in August
Paulo Costa has his next fight lined up and it will take place at UFC 278 on August 20. The card will be headlined by a welterweight title fight between Leon Edwards and Kamaru Usman.
The Brazilian will lock horns with former middleweight king Luke Rockhold in a three-round fight.
Check out the tweet from TSN's Aaron Bronsteter confirming the Costa-Rockhold bout:
Both fighters need to return to winning ways. After being undefeated in his first 13 MMA fights, Costa suffered back-to-back losses against Adesanya and Marvin Vettori. Rockhold, meanwhile, has lost three of his last four fights and has been out of action for over three years.
Both Costa and Rockhold will be looking to turn things around come fight night. Given the paucity of challengers to Adesanya's throne in the 185lbs weight class, the winner of the fight could put themselves in the conversation for a title shot.
