Paulo Costa calls UFC middleweight champ Israel Adesanya a ‘P-ssy African’

There’s no love lost between Israel Adesanya and Paulo Costa.

Both men have been at each other’s throats for the past year and were expected to collide in a UFC middleweight title bout in early 2020, but the proposed matchup was cancelled due to ‘Borrachinha’ requiring surgery on his left bicep.

With Costa shelved until April next year, the Brazilian took out his frustration via social media, calling Adesanya a ‘p-ssy African’ in a now-deleted Tweet.

“Adesanya is afraid, into himself knows. He try looks good but everybody so skinny and fragile as him fell afraid to fight against powerful guys.
