Costa knows the known UFC "agents" Tiki, Ali, etc are literally just controlled opposition. Never actually fighting hard for the fighter.

Il a eu raison de refuser 14 jours c trop court pour preparer ce combat. Par contre paulo a l'air hors de forme sur cette video je me trompe peut etre ...mais il a egalement tord du fait de ne pas se maintenir en forme hors combat... C'etait une grosse opportunité. Apres je ne critique pas son choix je suis un simple homme normal pas un combattant ... Il sait ce qu 'il fait

The UFC doesn't need you Paulo as much as you or gaslighting D1 glazed Ariel is goading you into thinking

@HuiosTribeStudios
@

Push which good talent away . Costa isn't very bright. He better not allow helwani help him with his slimy stupid ways F his career. Paulo has probably turned down or fumbled more fights than he has accepted in the last 5 years...

@HuiosTribeStudios
@

Every guy that comes through Ariel’s office looks amazing. It’s kinda suspicious. Like the 3rd interview this week. He says mmmmmm u look so good.

@1Faxiapreta

His fight with Luke Rockhold is one of my favorite fights of all time

@nelsonmadrid3202

I think its safe to say everyone is getting sick of the UFC and their horseshit tying fighters up in contracts that aren't fair, this second class citizen shit compared to boxers has to stop. Its about time UFC guys got a fair amount of the money they are generating and people like Paulo speaking transparently about this helps a great deal.

@RobRoy619
@

all the ufc fighters need to go on strike. contracts will change quick.

@rlswar
@

Ever since he learned english Paolo really showed english speakers how funny, clever and capable he is. Excellent insight for this interview and he speaks very well. I hope he works it out with the UFC and gets a big deal so we can see him given the correct opportunities and promotion that he deserves.

If that doesn't happen I will follow him at other organisations, but please do real fights and not influencer nonsense if you leave UFC I am tired of the clowns who do that.

@TKGriffiths
@

These fighters are not your "old friends" and necessarily dont wanna hug you Ariel - they are fighters and you happen to cover their sport. Try to keep it professional.

@MixxinOnChrome

Paulo should start cologne

@jayr8644
@

I’m confused why they’re doing this to him.. he has a lot of fans. Way more than the no name champion Ulberg.. no one knows that guy man. I promise 5% of casuals know him. Maybe 7% and Paulo fights like a MOMSTER not a woman.

@YoungDryas
@

Hey what's up guys,?

@alexpinto4589
@

7:59 UFC making paulo wait for a fight is a great compliment to his name value. They’re not going to offer anyone less than——at the top the right fights are hard to make——offering him this short notice fight isn’t out of spite it’s the only name available that made sense. 1:05:31 my point exactly.

@DJwassabi2011
@

Fact is he couldn’t make weight lmao simple

@Kingsley747
@

paulo is funny even when not trying, he got charisma but after english lessons, I didnt know he is also smart.

@woreyour
