Israel Adesanya believes Brazil’s Paulo Costa is surrounded by ‘yes men’ who are sabotaging his career, which is why ‘The Last Stylebender’ offered ‘Borrachinha’ some friendly advice following their middleweight title bout at UFC 253.
Adesanya, who defeated Costa via second-round TKO in one of his most dominant performances to date, advised the Brazilian to ‘switch up his team’ if he ever wants to improve as a fighter.
“I DM’d him after the last fight, saying he should just switch up his team,” the reigning UFC middleweight champ revealed on his YouTube channel (h/t Derek Hall of MMA News).
