UFC middleweight and former title challenger Paulo Costa is known for his antics on social media. The Brazilian often makes jokes on MMA personalities, and has come to be known by the MMA fanbase for his sense of humor.

Costa recently reacted to a tweet from @DovySimuMMA that contained mugshots of several prominent MMA figures, namely Conor McGregor, Jon Jones, Mike Perry, Rampage Jackson, Nick Diaz, Brock Lesnar, B.J. Penn, Michael Johnson and Jeremy Stephens.

Check out the post below:

The post caught the attention of Costa, who, presumably in jest, responded to it by asking why his mugshot was missing from the collage.

"Where is my face?"

Check out Paulo Costa's response below:

Costa was last seen in action in June 2024 when he faced off against former champion Sean Strickland at UFC 302. The card took place at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. The middleweight clash served as the co-main event on the night, and was a five round contest.

The contest was a competitive affair that went the 25-minute distance and ended with a split decision victory for Strickland. The three judges scored the bout 46-49, 50-45 and 49-46 in favor of 'Tarzan.'


Paulo Costa's rough patch in the UFC

Paulo Costa started his MMA journey on a great note as he stacked up 13 wins in a row, which included victories over names like Yoel Romero, Uriah Hall and Johny Hendricks.

This impressive win streak earned him a shot at UFC gold against Israel Adeanya. 'Borrachinha,' however, was outclassed by Adesanya, who won the encounter by second-round knockout.

The loss marked the beginning of a rough patch in Costa's UFC career. Since losing to 'The Last Stylebender,' the Brazilian has managed to win just one out of his next four fights in the promotion.

It appears that Costa desperately needs to turn things around and return to winning ways or his stint in the UFC might be surrounded may come to a premature end.
