Those who say what they want end up hearing what they don't want. After Paulo borrachinha criticizing the scholarships offered by Ultimate by comparing them with boxing scholarships, the Brazilian was criticized by his boss and president of the organization, Dana White. In an interview with the Canadian channel 'TSN', the agent stated that the fighter would not be 'high' to negotiate after his performance against Israel adesanya in his last performance.

“He is not in a position to talk about negotiations after his last performance. He's under contract. If he wants to make more money, we have fights every weekend. Or he can get out of his contract and do whatever he wants. Fight against youtubers or whatever. I'm not going to release a fighter because I'm bothered by YouTubers making a lot of money. Are you angry after the horrible fight you had? He needs to come back and put himself in a good position to achieve something big,” said Dana White.
The 'boss' response came after Paulo borrachinha criticized the amounts paid by the UFC, compared to those received by youtubers Logan and Jake Paul. Now, the leader continued with his comments and also continued to be harsh in his comments.
“He could have started his YouTube channel when he was 13, so he could have fought on Saturday. But that's not what he did. He's a fighter and fighting is what he does for a living. Or not. He decides. Furthermore, he is unable to talk about money after his last fight. But if he doesn't want to fight now, that's okay too. He can take vacations and do whatever you want. When you’re ready, just tell me”, concluded the agent.
In Ultimate since 2017, Paulo borrachinha has not performed since the setback he suffered against Adesanya, for the category belt, in September 2020. At 28 years old, he has a record of 13 wins and one loss, having overcome names like Uriah Hall e Yoel romero in your career.
