After a first friendly meeting in Abu Dhabi, the rivalry between Israel adesanya e Paulo borrachinha seems to have returned to normal. After clarifying the exchange of pleasantries at the hotel, days before the fight for the title, this Saturday (26), for UFC 253, the middleweight champion (up to 83,9kg) once again provoked the Brazilian with balloons. The images were released on UFC social media.

“Israel, I’m going to erase you”, said the Nigerian, imitating Minas Gerais and using his opponent’s classic phrase.
Adesanya, who always teases Borrachinha for his physical size, tried to play with the situation by making an analogy between his opponent and balloons. After speaking, the champion popped his balloons and left, apparently irritated.
With just over three days to go before the fight, the athletes are looking to promote the confrontation as much as possible. Ultimate's president, Dana White, made public the idea that the clash between the two will be the best of 2020.
Paulo and Adesanya became confessed enemies just over a year ago. The clash between the two is highly anticipated among MMA fans, as it will put two undefeated athletes face to face in their careers and, as a bonus, there will be a title at stake.
