Paulo Costa was weirded out by Luke Rockhold smearing blood on his face in the final moments of their fight at UFC 278.
Costa wasn’t sure what Rockhold was doing at first but was grossed out once he realized the latter was rubbing blood all over his face and mouth in a last-ditch effort to turn the fight in his favor after reversing ‘Borrachinha’ in the third round.
“I didn’t see it in the moment of the fight,” Costa, who won the fight via unanimous decision, said at the post-fight press conference (h/t MMA Fighting).
