The Brazilian, however, treated the episode with good humor.

“This is getting out of control,” wrote the miner.

The fight between Paulo and Whittaker was in the UFC's plans on two occasions. In 2021, the athletes had a confirmed clash, but Borrachinha ended up leaving the clash for health reasons.

In 2022, Ultimate made the confrontation official for the second time. The Brazilian, however, denied having signed the contract and the challenge was once again discarded.

No UFC 298, the fight must finally happen. If there are no unforeseen events, the fighters will measure up in the octagon and the winner will move closer to a title fight in the category.
