Paulo Costa Mocks 'Fake' Champ Israel Adesanya on Instagram
Israel Adesanya continues to defy the critics on his march to the undisputed UFC middleweight title after his brutal five-round war against Kelvin Gastelum at UFC 236, but there’s at least one fellow middleweight who isn’t sold quite yet.

Undefeated Brazilian middleweight contender Paulo Costa, who has a rumored fight against former title contender Yoel Romero on the horizon, took to his Instagram account to mock Adesanya’s “fake belt.”
https://www.instagram.com/borrachinhamma/?utm_source=ig_embed “Really this is the interim (fake) champ? Hahaha. No doubt this weight division has already been better than this sh*t. Enjoy this while you can man, I really hope that you take the real belt one day to meet me. Note: And I’m not Gastelum.”
Whittaker, a New Zealand-born Austalian and the Nigerian-born New Zealander Adesanya are set to fight in Australia later in the year to unify the belts in front of what will likely be a record crowd.
