Every time that Paulo "Borrachinha" Henrique Costa has stepped in the cage, he has decimated an opponent. The middleweight has done it any number of ways. The maulings have come via head kick, ground-and-pound, right cross, left hook, combination barrage and the kitchen sink. They've come in small regional promotions and followed him into the UFC. And they've all come in a single round or less.
In nine fights, Costa, who professionally goes by Borrachinha, has never had to fight more than five minutes. His shortest outing was just 32 seconds, and in his UFC debut just less than three months ago, he needed just 77 ticks of the clock to pummel Garreth McLellan into an early evening.
