Paulo Costa has responded to Israel Adesanya’s apology for his Twin Towers comment, and the Brazilian middleweight is still enraged.<\/p>\n
At a recent UFC 245 press conference, “The Last Stylebender” made a comment claiming he will crumble Yoel Romero like the Twin Towers in their main event UFC 248 fight in March.<\/p>\n
His 9\/11 reference left a bad taste in the mouth of many people in the MMA community, particularly Americans. However, Brazilian fighter Paulo Costa was also deeply offended by the remarks.<\/p>\n
He slammed Israel Adesanya for his “disrespectful” comment.<\/p>\n
\u201cIsrael Adesanya. You are a disgusting piece of shit. How dare you make a joke disrespecting the thousands who died and the heroic firefighters and police. I will really kill you, dirty kiwi,\u201d Paulo Costa said on Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n After thinking it over, the middleweight champion took to social media to apologize<\/a> for his insensitive comments.<\/p>\n \u201cI never made a joke about people dying or made light of the tragic event that was 9\/11. I was simply rambling and my brain worked faster than my mouth in a moment to (choose) the wrong euphemism. You speak on the mic enough times and you\u2019re bound to miss the mark with some bars. I did on this one and for that I\u2019m sorry. I\u2019ll be more careful in (the) future with my words.\u201d<\/p>\n Paulo Costa has responded by shutting down Adesanya’s apology and stating he plans to “erase him” all the same.<\/p>\n “Glad you learned your lesson. Now shut your big mouth already. Respect the people and be ready to be erased.”<\/p>\n Glad you learned your lesson. Now shut your big mouth already. Respect the people and be ready to be erased.<\/p>\n Esse Magrelo viu a merda que fez e se desculpou. Espero que mantenha-se assim; quietinho e se prepare para ser trucidado . pic.twitter.com\/jAo820WSUl<\/a><\/p>\n — Paulo Costa ( Borrachinha ) (@BorrachinhaMMA) February 24, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
