If you don’t hate this baby you’re a weird person - Paulo Costa shuts down fan who asks if he's scared of Hasbulla

Paulo Costa silenced a fan on Twitter who questioned the Brazilian on whether he's scared of internet sensation Hasbulla Magomedov.

Nineteen-year-old Russian content creator Hasbulla has turned into a global phenomenon through his jovial and cheerful content. Netizens are fans of the training workout spoofs that the Russian, also popularly known as 'Mini Khabib', regularly posts.

UFC middleweight Paulo Costa, meanwhile, has emerged as quite the 'Tweleb' himself in recent times. He has developed a loyal fan base through his sardonic content and rib-tickling memes.

When a fan asked Costa on Twitter whether he was afraid of Hasbulla, the Brazilian shut down the fan by saying that it would be weird if people didn't hate the Russian:

"If u don’t hate this baby you’re a weird peoples. Good night.''

Costa is actively campaigning for a fight with Chimaev, now that his coach has hinted at a potential move to middleweight after 'Borz' missed weight by 7.5 lbs.

Speaking with Ariel Helwani on The MMA Hour, Costa claimed that while he would like to fight Chimaev, the 28-year-old fighter will do everything in his capacity to avoid a fight with the Brazilian:

“I’d like [to fight Chimaev] but I don’t really think this will happen because he avoids fighting me. He doesn’t want to fight. He just wants to fight small guys, smaller than him, you know? And guys who have no wrestling, no takedown defense, have no power to f*** him up.''

Costa added that Chimaev cherry picks his opponents by fighting the smaller guys:

“The guy wants to fight Kevin Holland, small guys, Gilbert Burns. And I appreciate those guys, Gilbert and Holland, but he chooses who he wants to fight.”
