UFC middleweight contender Paulo Costa has caught himself in another controversial situation outside the Octagon. Per Brazilian news outlet G1’s report, ‘Borrachinha’ allegedly assaulted a female nurse with an elbow strike at a vaccination post in his home state of Minas Gerais, Brazil.
According to police, Costa had entered the post looking to get a COVID-19 shot, but supposedly changed his mind in the middle of the process, which led to the altercation. Once the nurses did not allow Paulo to leave with a validated vaccination card without taking the shot, Borrachinha allegedly struck one of them with an elbow to exit the building.
