Paulo Borrachinha believes he has the solution to 'save' the UFC light heavyweight division (up to 93 kg). After Magomed Ankalaev defeated Bogdan Guskov in the main event of UFC Abu Dhabi , held this Saturday (25), in a rather unexciting fight, the Brazilian used social media to provoke the Russian and point to a possible 'hero': himself.
In a post on 'X', Borrachinha shared an AI-generated image of himself lying on a mat while enjoying his 'secret juice'. In the caption, the Minas Gerais native stated that he is praying for motivation and to take on a leading role in the attempt to revitalize the 93 kg division.

Paulo Borrachinha could compete for the UFC belt.
With champion Carlos Ulberg sidelined due to injury after tearing his ACL at UFC 327, and with no return date yet set, Paulo Borrachinha emerges as one of the top contenders to challenge for the interim light heavyweight title.
Coming off a devastating knockout victory over Azamat Murzakanov in his division debut, the fighter from Minas Gerais, along with Magomed Ankalaev , is one of the few top-tier athletes in the category who are coming off a win in their last fight.
