Paulo Costa once amusingly mimicked Conor McGregor's promotional skit for his whiskey brand. Last February, 'The Notorious' filmed a commercial to introduce the new flavor of his Proper No. Twelve Irish Whiskey. McGregor even donned the attire of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, humorosly parodying one of Jobs' iconic iPhone presentations.

'Borrachinha' humorously credits his chiseled physique to the consumption of 'Secret Juice'. Additionally, Costa frequently asserts that the concoction boasts a secret recipe and attributes it as the source of his exceptional strength.
Costa is set to square off against former 185-pound champion Sean Strickland in a five-round showdown, positioned as the co-main event of UFC 302. The sixth pay-per-view event of 2024 is scheduled to take place this Saturday at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey.
When Paulo Costa voiced his ambition for a middleweight bout against Conor McGregor
During an appearance on The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani in January, Paulo Costa reacted to Conor McGregor's earlier declaration of his intent to enter the middleweight division upon his octagon comeback.
'Borrachinha' expressed his eagerness to fight McGregor in the near future and highlighted the Irishman's increased weight as a key factor driving his interest:
"I have some feelings about that. I think we're going to fight. I think so, honestly. Because he's moving up, and we don't have too many middleweight guys. I think my style and his style is a good matchup, you know? I do not try to put him down, and he does not, either. I think he's huge, strong, very good. He's an exceptional fighter, one of the best of all time."
