Israel Adesanya has slammed his upcoming opponent Paulo Henrique Costa, accusing his middleweight rival of doping.
The UFC middleweight champion defends his title against Costa at the end of the month at UFC 253 and has vowed to finish the Brazilian in emphatic fashion.
Costa recently admitted he hasn’t been tested by USADA while in Brazil and Adesanya was asked on an episode of Hot Ones who he felt was the dirtiest fighter in MMA.
‘The dirtiest fighter in the sport? There’s a few,’ he replied.
‘Even the guy I’m fighting next, I’m going to pop him before USADA does. He definitely has got some extra supplements south of the border he takes. (Metro)
