Israel Adesanya recently reclaimed the middleweight title in stunning fashion in the main event of UFC 287 when he knocked Alex Pereira out cold in the second round.
Adesanya and Brazilian MMA fighter Paulo Costa have been involved in a long-running rivalry. It has recently evolved into friendly banter, with Adesanya acknowledging that Costa is entertaining on Twitter.
Costa has been taking friendly shots at Adesanya for his unconventional style and demeanor, both of which defy conventional gender stereotypes. Adesanya ignores the criticism and responds in his own unique way.
Israel Adesanya takes a shot back at Paulo Costa
Costa recently jibed Adesanya and Alex Pereira for burying the hatchet backstage following their clash at UFC 287. The Brazilian mocked Adesanya and wrote:
“Life goals: find a woman who hugs you like he does. Her thought: I’m going to paint my nails pink too.”
Israel Adesanya, who is quite popular for talking trash, took to Twitter to provide NSFW (not safe for work) evidence to dismiss homosexual allegations from Paulo Costa.
The UFC middleweight champion also included a clip of Andrew Caldwell in his response, who became famous for publicly proclaiming his freedom from homosexuality during a church service and insisting later that he no longer had any desire to engage in homosexual activity.
Adesanya wrote:
“Why does @BorrachinhaMMA keep calling me a “fa**ot/faggy” bro??”

Israel Adesanya and Paulo Costa previously squared off at UFC 253. ‘Borrachinha’ was assumed to be a huge challenge for Adesanya but the Nigerian-born Kiwi all over his ambitions. ‘The Last Stylebender’ celebrated his second-round technical knockout victory by infamously “dry-humping” Costa before he could get back on his feet.
