Paulo borrachinha is not joking. In yet another chapter of the rivalry with Khamzat Shimaev, the Brazilian did not hold back his words and launched heavy insults at the Swede on social media. In a post on Instagram, he called his rival a 'goat depraver' and downplayed the victory over Robert whittaker No. UFC 308 last Saturday (26).

The Minas Gerais native, who is looking to regain his place in the middleweight rankings after two consecutive losses, openly challenged the UFC to schedule a fight against any opponent in the top 15. Paulo showed himself to be confident and willing to prove his worth, even though he is outside the top 10.

“I will no longer ask the UFC to feed me this deranged goat depraver, because it will happen anyway and I will receive it graciously soon,” Costa wrote.

The Brazilian also criticized the way Whittaker broke his jaw, in addition to stating that the submission was not due to the choke applied by Chimaev.

“Rob’s jaw was not broken by a chokehold, it was a traumatic blow. Only those who don’t understand think it was due to a chokehold. That said, I am available to the UFC business team to fight anyone on this list until February,” he concluded.
