After Paulo borrachinha ironize failure to cut weight Charles of the Bronx No. UFC 274, the São Paulo native decided to fight back. In an interview with 'ESPN', the former holder of the lightweight belt (up to 70,3kg.) tried to remember Minas Gerais' defeat to Israel adesanya in the past and criticized his compatriot's recent performances.
“Fighters have to focus on fighting, training and making history. If I wanted to use the internet, I would record with my cell phone and make my own work. But my work this is not it. It's fighting and making it happen. And Borrachinha is going down this path, getting crazy and talking nonsense about others. A guy who doesn't make weight, weighing 6kg. or 7kg. above and wants to talk nonsense on social media. Taking advantage of him talking about me, I'm going to talk about him too: he doesn't know shit about what happened to my weight and keeps talking nonsense on Twitter. We have to look at ourselves before looking at others. He's talking a lot of nonsense and not doing anything. He arrived with a black belt and was submitted by the white belt (Adesanya)”, said Charles.

In the most recent presentation, Do Bronx was 200g. above the limit established by the lightweight division (up to 70,3kg.) and lost the UFC belt while weighing in for the fight against Justin gaethje. Still, the Brazilian didn't let himself get discouraged and won with a rear naked choke in the first round.
However, despite the defeat, Charles was needled by Borrachinha, who even made a montage of himself as if he were ready to fight at welterweight. Paulo has also had problems with the scales and had to fight at catchweight in the setback against Marvin vettori, in October 2021.
