"Everyone knows that, we have a mutual hatred. After this fight, I'll send him a message, but until then, you'll have to wait," the Brazilian replied, rocking and rubbing his face.
Borrachinha's strange behavior quickly became a topic of conversation on social media. Many fans began to question and debate what the Brazilian's strange behavior could mean.
Some people were amused by the matter, claiming that Borrachinha needed to go to the bathroom, while others raised the possibility that the tremors were the result of the harsh weight cut or even an anxiety attack on the Brazilian's part.
