Sean Strickland roasts Paulo Costa for "losing his virginity" to Israel Adesanya on national television
Sean Strickland and Paulo Costa have been embroiled in a virtual spat for quite some time. Strickland recently went off on Costa for his UFC 253 loss at the hands of Israel Adesanya.
Costa's unbeaten streak in the UFC was brought to an end by 'The Last Stylebender' at the du Forum on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi in September 2020. Israel Adesanya managed to outstrike Costa, recording a second-round TKO win against the Brazilian.
While in conversation with Helen Yee, 'Tarzan' went off on Paulo Costa, joking about the manner in which Adesanya humiliated 'The Eraser' after knocking him out in the second frame of their fight.
"I actually like [Paulo Costa]. I like him. He's, yeah, he's a good-looking dude, you know. Like, we all watched him lose his virginity to [Israel Adesanya]. That was a, that was a very, that was a big moment, you know. You don't often get to watch a man get tooken from the back on national television unless it's like PornHub or something and we all seen Paulo Costa on his knees with the dry hump. And Izzy that's not f***ing right man that was f***ed up."
