Paulo borrachinha innovated in weighing for UFC 278, an event that will be held next Saturday (20). When entering the weigh-in before the fight with Luke Rockhold, the miner appeared with a 'secret juice', which was at his side during the measurements. He passed the scale well and weighed 84,1kg.
The 'secret juice' is a joke adopted by Paulo on social media when asking about the secret to his physical shape. He adopts a mystery about what is in his 'vitamin' and says that it makes him 'strong and fit' for his fights in Ultimate.

After past problems on the scale, Borrachinha had no problems making weight and confirmed the fight with Rockhold. The miner, however, got angry and accused USADA members of waking him up at 5am for a doping test.
With the dream of regaining his status as a challenger for the title in the under-83,9kg category, the Brazilian will step into the octagon pressured for a victory. The athlete is experiencing an unprecedented moment in his career, having had two stumbles in a row. In his career, he has recorded 13 positive results and two negative results.
Former group champion, Luke will return to action after three years of inactivity. In his last fight, the North American had his test at light heavyweight (up to 93 kg.) frustrated, being severely knocked out by Jan Blachowicz in the second round.
