Paulo Costa is truly embracing his self-proclaimed title as an internet troll. The Brazilian middleweight fighter has accumulated a distinctive record, experiencing the cancellation of five fights within the last two years.

'Borrachinha' has been absent from the octagon for over a year, with his last competition dating back to August 2022. This year alone, he has withdrawn from three significant matchups, including his cancellation against Robert Whittaker at UFC 284.

Additionally, Costa pulled out from his scheduled UFC 291 bout against Ikram Aliskerov, but later accepted a matchup against Khamzat Chimaev at UFC 294. Unfortunately, he had to pull out from the Chimaev fight just days before the event due to elbow surgery.

"He is so Cute 🥰 isn’t he?"
