The co-main event of UFC 302 has received a lot of attention lately. Sean Strickland and Paulo Costa are among the popular fighters in the promotion. In the past, the duo has wowed the fans with their antics and social media presence. Renowned for their trash talk, it is only natural that a mental battle has already begun between them.
While both fighters respect each other, Costa has shared what makes him better than Strickland in the most hilarious way. Paulo Costa, being the meme lord of the UFC, released a new meme that essentially compares him with Sean Strickland side by side. The meme’s greatest feature is how absurd and hilarious each parameter is. Costa mocked Strickland as a ‘jab merchant’ and referenced his infamous crying.
Costa, on the other hand, freely admitted to taking performance-enhancing drugs and referred to himself as the meme king. The Brazilian fighter here was referring to his running joke that includes the iconic Secret Juice. After years of facing PED allegations, Costa embraced it and started playing into the accusations with Secret Juice references.
In addition, the Brazilian labeled Strickland ‘gay’ and made fun of his wrestling gear as the American shared his training camp footage. This appears to continue until the press conference and is not likely to end very soon. Still, it seems to be working, as fans are growing increasingly involved in the upcoming fight.
