Paulo Costa has responded to Jake Paul.
Costa went to fight Luke Rockhold in the co-main event at UFC 278. The game takes place on August 20 at the Vivint Arena in Salt Lake City, Utah. Fans finally got to witness Rockhold’s last professional MMA fight.
Rockhold’s jaw was up throughout the game, and he had his moments, but the decision was never in doubt. Despite his own troubles at high altitudes, Costa is just the newer fighter of the two.
“Borrachinha” won by unanimous decision, with Rockhold announcing his retirement in an emotional post-match speech.

“If this Is the last one, Jack Paul is very welcome to send offers or contracts and we can have this boxing match. I don’t know if he wants the blood, you know? I think he wants to fight wrestlers or something like that, I think .”
Jack is known to piss off established feathered MMA fighters and boxers, so this comment should come as no surprise.
Recently, Paul took aim at Kamaru Usman after his appearance on the I Am Athlete podcast.
“Basically, he fought Tyron Woodley for 25 minutes in the Octagon and didn’t do anything to hurt Tyron Thing. It was a boring fight, couldn’t hurt Tyron with his fists. However, less than a year later, I went in and knocked out Tyron Woodley. But Kamaru Usman went around saying ‘If I put Jack Paul makes it easy to punch’.”

Jake Paul continued, “So, Kamaru, let’s just do it. I played against Tyron Woodley You do better, it’s an easy comparison. You can sit there and chat but at the end of the day, you know it’s a money fight…if it’s an easy fight, why don’t you take your bag ?”
