Caught in Paulo Costa’s girlfriend’s DMs, Khamzat Chimaev reacts: “I told him…

Since Conor McGregor came to the top, there seem to be no limits to trash-talking in the UFC. The proof in the rivalry between Khamzat Chimaev and Paulo Costa, since the Chechen would have sent DM’s to the Brazilian’s partner!

Coincidence or bad karma, the fact remains that chaos seems to follow Khamzat Chimaev. In September 2022, during his last appearance in the octagon, for example, he forced Dana White and his associates to change the entire event card at the last minute due to a weight problem. To make matters worse, he also caused a general fight behind the scenes of the press conference.

And for his big return to competition, more than a year later, nothing went as planned. Following the withdrawal of the Brazilian Paulo Costa due to injury, the Chechen will finally have to face the legend Kamaru Usman, undoubtedly very vengeful after losing his belt. This fight will be that of youth and passion against experience, which often gives rise to beautiful fireworks.

Khamzat explains his DM’s with Paulo Costa’s girlfriend

Although they will undoubtedly offer us a great show, we can still regret the end of his rivalry with Costa. The two continued major provocations on social networks, and private messages from Borz with the Brazilian’s partner were even leaked. Ahead of UFC 294, Khamzat looked back on this hilarious episode.

It was Paulo Costa’s girlfriend who came to talk to me to say: “Please don’t take the provocations seriously, he just wants to make money.” » Then she deleted her message, and I sent a funny photo for a laugh. I have nothing against her. I explained to him that we didn’t make money that way. But I understand, it’s a joke, it’s trash talk.

Khamzat Chimaev could have lied and said that he was never in Ms. Costa’s DM’s, but he took responsibility quite directly for his lunar exchange with her. According to him, it was even Tamara Alves who sent the first message, and he simply responded with humor, before giving her a little moral lesson. And indeed, he made a rather spicy joke:

You can do this thing together, Paulo likes black men ????????????????

Fortunately, Khamzat Chimaev didn’t go into Tamara Alves’ DM’s for anything other than making jokes and provoking whoever was supposed to be her opponent. We still hope to see their fight one day.
