Things got heated between UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya and his next title challenger Paulo Costa on Friday morning.<\/p>\n

Adesanya and Costa, both undefeated, will collide in the main event of UFC 253 on Saturday night. Shortly after they weighed in for their fight, they came face-to-face for a final staredown.<\/p>\n

Costa brought his BJJ blackbelt to the staredown, and also brought a white belt for Adesanya\u2014which unsurprisingly didn’t go over well. See the pair’s heated encounter below:<\/p>\n
