UFC light heavyweight contender Thiago Santos a bone to pick with fellow Brazilian Paulo Costa.

In a conversation on podcast Nem Me Viu, ‘Marreta’ shared a story about a time when ‘Borrachinha’ disrespected him during a weight cut. It was an incident that has left Santos wanting to face Costa in the Octagon ever since.

According to Santos, Costa had little respect for his fellow fighter while Santos was in the bathtub cutting weight for an upcoming fight. Marreta says that while he was in the tub, Paulo and some friends were having a party in the tub next to his, disrupting the difficult process for the longtime ATT talent.
