UFC middleweight star Paulo Costa recently tweeted about Donald Trump winning the US presidential seat, and it's already setting the internet on fire. The outspoken fighter, a strong supporter of the newly minted 47th US President, tweeted a rather scathing statement involving women.
Posting a darkened photo of Trump clad in diamond-laced necklaces and a silver set of grills, Costa had this as the caption:
"Bro stopped America from having a female president TWICE. Woman only for s*x , never forget it."

X users commented with a variety of reactions, with @sixguystalking saying:
"This is too much Paolo 🤣"
Nicolas Scott, a fellow Trump supporter, gave 'Borrachinha' a tough telling-off:
"It's great Trump has won but I now see why they have so much crime in Brazil, there's no civilised country out there that doesn't respect its women. You're Trash Paulo, and I was a fan of yours."

More on Paulo Costa's divisive X activities
Paulo Costa has become synonymous with controversial tweets. After Sharabutdin 'Shara' Magomedov's viral double-spinning-backfist win at UFC 308 late last month, a user allegedly devised a tweet, with Costa saying:
"Give me that n**** Shara."
Coming clean, 'Borrachinha' set the record straight and made it clear that he never tweeted the racially-charged callout:
"Hey I didn't post it. Hahah WTF."
In addition to the divisiveness of the N-word, the Brazilian fighter isn't known to be racist nor is the slur really fitting for a Dagestani like 'Shara'.
Costa was last seen in action inside the octagon in a losing bid to former UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland at UFC 302 last June. Costa lost via a split decision. As of this writing, no official word has been put out on who 'Borrachinha' would face next and when.
