UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya has shared a private message that he sent Paulo Costa after their fight.<\/p>\n

Adesanya took on Costa in the main event of UFC 253 in September. He won the fight via second-round knockout, handing the title Brazilian challenger his first professional loss.<\/p>\n

The fight was preceded by months of trash talk<\/a> between the two fighters. As a result, Adesanya clearly took some pleasure in the victory. As it turns out, he also sent Costa a direct message after the fight, encouraging him to be more respectful going forward.<\/p>\n

Adesanya shared a screenshot of the message he sent Costa on Instagram.<\/p>\n

#lockdownwiththeskinnyclown is over. A few lessons to be learnt here. 1) Never let your mouth write cheques your ass can\u2019t cash. 🍑 2) I\u2019m the wrong one to fuck with, cuz I\u2019ll drag you by your weave. 💁🏽‍♀️ 3) To get respect you must show respect. 👍🏾 Thanks for watching. Keep watching 📺 #interweeb<\/a><\/p>\n
