UFC middleweight contender Paulo Costa has made shocking claims against the current Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. According to Costa, he is being spied on by the Brazilian government, allegedly at the behest of Lula da Silva.

The UFC fighter has leveled dark allegations, stating that his personal and professional life is under constant surveillance. He claims that the Brazilian government went to great lengths to gather information about him, including monitoring his online activities.

While replying to a fan on Twitter about the recent presidential election's outcome, the former middleweight title challenger stated:

"I can’t talk about it.. they are watching me."

These allegations have raised concerns about the state of privacy and freedom in Brazil. The idea that a high-profile athlete like Paulo Costa could be subject to such intrusive surveillance is alarming, to say the least. It raises questions about the extent to which the government is willing to go to maintain its control over the population.

It is difficult to determine the veracity of the allegations made by 'Borrachinha', as he has a reputation for engaging in pranks and posting humorous content on social media.
