“F**K USADA” – Paulo Costa pulls off a Paddy Pimblett after successful weigh-in at UFC 278

Paulo Costa lashing out at USADA during the initial weigh ins at UFC 278

Paulo Costa has successfully made weight for his upcoming UFC 278 fight against Luke Rockhold. However, the fighter rather than celebrating his successful weigh-in decided to spend his energy in cussing out a witness who was watching him make his weight.

Brazilian middleweight title contender, Paulo Costa does not have the best experience with the weigh-in scale. The fighter’s experience during the weigh-ins during his last fight was absolutely horrendous as he missed weight by several pounds for his middleweight fight against Marvin Vettori. Costa was determined to have a flawless lead-up to the fight against Luke Rockhold at UFC 278 and he has successfully made his weight.

After making weight, the fighters usually pose for the camera and say what’s on their mind ahead of the fight. Paulo Costa, who usually is not very agitated during the weigh-ins wanted to cuss out a member from the United States Anti-Doping Agency present there. Taking inspiration from his dear friend, Paddy Pimblett, who made the headlines for showing his bum during the weigh-ins, Paulo almost MOON’d the media.

Paulo came into the weigh-ins room with a bottle labeled “Secret Juice” and after his weigh-ins, he screamed “F**k USADA” to a member of the agency. After his weigh-ins, Costa put out a tweet on social media explaining his reason for lashing out. Apparently, the fighter was forced to take a test amidst his weight cut.

“F**k the the boss on Usada who sent their agents this morning at my sleep room 6 am to take my blood out!!! I was cutting weight very dehydrated and they wants took my blood ! F**k those guys!!! I never been caught by usada test I don’t need this f**k sh*t” wrote Paulo in his recent tweet.
