It was expected that rising middleweight prospect Paulo Costa would face off against Yoel Romero at UFC Miami on April 27, but the bout fell through for undisclosed reasons.
Romero, a two-time UFC title challenger, originally claimed ‘Borrachinha’ had tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs, which is why the fight was allegedly axed. ‘Soldier of God’ later retracted this statement and apologized, but Costa isn’t so forgiving.
In a recent Instagram post Costa, who is undefeated at 12-0 (11 KO’s), claimed Romero has no idea what he’s talking about and accused the Cuban of using PEDs.
