"Only guy who can have a bottle named secret juice whilst being drug tested" - Fans react after Paulo Costa laments USADA for allegedly testing him for the third time in 15 days
Paulo Costa has arguably the most impressive physique in the UFC, and has created a 'secret juice' gimmick to compliment his physical make-up.
The 'secret juice' was introduced to the MMA world by Costa sometime around August 2022. What exactly the 'secret juice' consists of has not been disclosed by the Brazilian.
Despite the Brazilian's claim that the 'secret juice' has given him his size and strength, it was more than obvious that he was joking. However, that hasn't stopped USADA from testing him three times in the past 15 days.
Paulo Costa took to Twitter to complain about the treatment he has received from the anti-doping agency. His 'secret juice' can also be spotted in the picture:
"Good morning with F*ck usada in my home. Still f*ck dark outside. 5 am for third time in 15 days. What lovely day"
See the tweet below:

Fans have reacted by mostly poking fun at Costa's 'secret juice', and sympathized with the middleweight for being woken up at 5 a.m.

Other fans, meanwhile, identified the camouflage-colored couch that Costa was sitting on, and began to make jokes about him floating.
@BorrachinhaMMA This scene is defying the laws of physics
@BorrachinhaMMA Bro is floating
@BorrachinhaMMA Why are you floating? It’s like there’s a sofa there but we just can’t see it 🧐
Paulo Costa teases move to boxing as his UFC contract will expire soon
Paulo Costa is preparing to face former UFC middleweight champion Robert Whittaker at UFC 284. The fight will take place on February 12, 2023, and will seemingly mark the last fight on Costa's current contract with the promotion.
Unless the UFC offers Costa a much-improved contract, it appears his fight with Whittaker could be the Brazilian's last in the octagon.
'Borrachinha' released a tweet recently in which he labeled his current contract as "miserable." Paulo Costa has claimed that he will be making a move to boxing once his contract expires.
'Borrachinha' tweeted:
"My miserable contract with the UFC was up in a few short months. Will expire in time. A new #boxer is coming to town."

My miserable contract with the UFC was up in a few short months. will expire in time . A new #boxer is coming to town!🙌
The pressure will be on the Brazilian to perform when he faces Robert Whittaker.
An impressive performance against 'The Reaper' could improve Costa's bargaining power with the UFC. But a lackluster performance could mean the end of his UFC career.
