Borrachinha and the controversies involving Charles do Bronx at UFC Rio
This is not the first time that Borrachinha's name has been linked to some controversy involving Charles of the Bronx at UFC Rio. After the injury of Raphael Fiziev, who was going to face Charles on the Rio de Janeiro card, the Minas Gerais native reacted with irony to the possibility of the former lightweight champion (up to 70,3 kg) pulling out of the event and missing the card.
In response to a fan's post on 'X' (formerly Twitter), Borrachinha mocked the delay in Charles of the Bronx to accept Mateusz gamrot and even joked about the possibility of canceling the event.
It was already José Bostil. He didn't accept it, the fight fell through, UFC Bostil fell through. Nothing's left lol

In another comment, the Minas Gerais native also mocked the fans who made an effort to watch the fight in Rio de Janeiro and made an ironic appeal for the former champion to accept his new opponent.
Charminho saves the beast, accepts the fight. They paid the ticket in 30 installments plus the round trip bus. For the love of God...
