‘Borrachinha’ has been enjoying a career resurgence as of late and is gaining huge popularity on social media thanks to his hilarious antics. Costa last stepped into the octagon at UFC 278 when he defeated Luke Rockhold via unanimous decision in a Fight of the Night winning bout.
Dillon Danis (2-0) is a controversial figure amongst MMA fans due in part to his close relationship with Conor McGregor. Fans’ major issue with Danis is his use of social media to make outlandish calls rather than backing it up in the octagon. ‘El Jefe’ is still only 29-years-old but last fought in the cage over three years ago.
MMA fans have reacted to the image of the pair together, with one fan joking that the Brazilian fighter has committed “career suicide.”
Another fan joked that ‘Borrachinha’ looked inebriated and hoped that he thought of Dillon Dannis as just a fan asking for a photo:
