After the victory over John hendricks at UFC 217 last Saturday (4), Paulo borrachinha immediately challenged Derek Brunson, who comes from a triumph, also by knockout over Lyoto Machida. The North American made fun of the Brazilian's challenge and accused him of using steroids. Because the provocation was not well received by Borrachinha.

In an interview with the North American program The MMA Hour, the middleweight shot at Brunson, calling him a liar and guaranteeing that, if the two face each other, he will erase him, making a pun on his nickname.
“I have been tested 15 times since signing with the UFC, four of them in the last month. Then, when there is nothing left to say, excuses come. That's what he's doing now, making excuses not to face me. I fight clean. USADA is here for everyone. Derek Brunson He talks a lot... but he won't fight me because he's afraid (...) I want to face him because he's a wrestler, not as good as Hendricks, but he plays stand-up as well. I have no doubt that I will delete it. But I won't erase it completely because you'll become famous as another victim of my knockout”, said the Brazilian, who sees himself two or three fights away from fighting for the belt.
“Now, I’m 15th, I’m in the rankings. I wanted to fight Brunson because he's number seven. I want a top-10. Now I fight with a top-10, in my next fight, I face a top-5 and from the top-5 I can go for a title fight. I think I’ll be there in two or three fights,” he said.
