Paulo Costa posts hilarious DM chat with Alex Pereira: "What f u sending me?"

UFC middleweight Paulo Costa is one of the most entertaining fighters inside the Octagon. Outside of it, he might be just as entertaining. In a time when fighters upload DM exchanges between rivals through texts and messenger apps, 'Borrachinha' went a different route. He revealed direct messages from a fellow fighter in Xbox Live of all places.

While Costa isn't the main subject of this content, it's more about the message and who it came from - none other than UFC light-heavyweight champ Alex Pereira.

Paulo Costa showed Pereira's direct message to him on X:

"Alex [Pereira] what f u sending me?"

In the video, the middleweight revealed that 'Poatan' sent him gameplay footage of EA UFC 5, showing the champ knocking out his opponent. Knowing who he sent the footage to, one would assume that Pereira KO'd Costa in the video - but it wasn't; it was Chael Sonnen.

The confusing aspect of the whole thing is what made it hilarious.

Joe Rogan speculates how fighters like Paulo Costa maintain their physique: "He's just got the genes"

Aside from his entertaining and, at times, controversial presence online, Paulo Costa is also known for his Adonis-like physique. There are some, however, who insinuate that the Brazilian powerhouse didn't achieve his body naturally. Costa even leaned in on this by jokingly bringing a bottle of liquid with him with the label "Secret Juice" to media days.

In a recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, Joe Rogan said:

"It's amazing some guys are natural, right? Like, Paolo Costa, he's just got the genes, son...I'm guessing [he's natural]...I don't think [Costa would] be talking that much sh*t [with the secret juice]...He always looks the same, he never tests positive and the guy has crazy genetics...The guy's got freak genetics, just in looks and also in his build."
