One of the main Brazilian names in the UFC today, Paulo borrachinha remains in the hunt for the middleweight champion (up to 83,9kg.), Israel adesanya, so that the champion can confirm his commitment to face him in the title fight. With a fierce rivalry for over a year, the Minas Gerais native used social media to demand, in a curious way, that the Nigerian sign the contract for one of the most anticipated clashes in recent years.

“Send me his (Adesanya) f***ing address and I’ll make him sign the damn contract right now. Bend your knees”, wrote Paulo on his Twitter account.
Currently, the Brazilian is arguably the main opponent for Israel. Number two in the division ranking, behind only the former champion, Robert whittaker, who was dethroned by the Nigerian in October last year, Borrachinha remains undefeated as a professional in MMA and promoting great fights since his UFC debut.
After defending his title for the first time against Yoel romero, in a fight much criticized for its lack of combativeness, the Nigerian guaranteed, after the duel with the Cuban, in March this year, that the Minas Gerais native will be his next opponent. At the time, the champion stated that, before exchanging forces against Paulo, he intended to take some time off, as he was coming off a marathon of eight fights in just over two years.
So far, there is no prediction of when the confrontation will take place. The expectation is that Ultimate will confirm the dispute in the coming months for the second half of 2020.
While the fight is not official, Borrachinha continues training daily for the biggest fight of his career.
Send me the fucking location of his house and I'll make him sing his fucking shit contract right now!
