— Paulo Costa ( Borrachinha ) (@BorrachinhaMMA) October 17, 2023Paulo Costa’s elbow is not a pretty sight.
On Tuesday, the middleweight shared a photo of the elbow infection that caused him to withdraw from his co-main event showdown against Khamzat Chimaev at UFC 294. Costa initially planned to remain on Saturday’s card after undergoing surgery a few weeks before the event, but “Borrachinha” ultimately had to undergo another procedure.
