‘Corona, to me, is beer’ - UFC’s Paulo Costa dismissive of COVID-19 pandemic

UFC middleweight contender Paulo Costa is not too worried about the coronavirus global pandemic just yet.

After attending March 15’s rallies in favor of Brazil’s president Jair Bolsonaro, which gathered hundreds of people all over the country, Costa started sharing some more controversial opinions about the matter on social media.

“This is free support, president Jair Messias Bolsonaro. We’re all robots. I survived PT (Brazil’s biggest left-wing party, which was in power up until president Dilma Roussef was impeached in 2016). Corona, to me, is beer”

Both on Twitter and on Instagram, ‘Borrachinha’ has been dismissive about the issue, and was seen still giving martial arts lesson to kids.
