The Liver King or else known as Brian Johnson is a fitness influencer who purports the “ancestral way” of living. Behind the jargon what it means is hunting and eating raw meat mostly. While his popping nerves and chiseled physique may lead you to conclude that he’s on some form of gear, Johnson will ardently deny those claims.

That’s something he may share with Paulo Costa who also has been accused by many of not being a natural despite him being under vigorous USADA testing cycles, the most recent coming at UFC 278 while he was cutting weight. Today Costa shared a picture of his Instagram DM’s and there were a few suspicious names on the list.

Apart from the Liver King, also in attendance was Dillon Dannis whose text read, “Let’s go Chen Chen” a diss towards Khamzat Chimaev that was made up by Costa himself. In fact, it was Costa posting “Gourmet Chen Chen” to his social media that got Khamzat and himself involved in a near brawl at the UFC PI.

Regardless of what you may feel about Costa, it is undeniable that he has managed to rehabilitate his image big time. Since he was always accused of being on performance enhancers, Costa took it as a marketing tool and went to town with it, most notably coming out with “Secret Juice”

While the drink itself is some form of energy/rehydration drink, Costa markets it as a big F-U to all those who have accused him of being in steroids, including USADA who tried to collect blood samples from him while he was in the process of cutting weight.

Costa has never tested positive for steroids and as long as that remains the case, no one can really object to “Secret Juice” However he did serve a 6 month suspension in 2018 due to an IV scandal.

Costa and his older brother had introduced more than the 100ml-12 Hour limit set by USADA into his body. Costa would later claim that he was unaware what he was doing is prohibited and even assisted the agency with their investigation resulting in a lighter suspension.
