Earlier, Costa had taken advantage of Dvalishvili by boldly taking the Georgian’s lunch at the UFC Performance Institute (PI), where he had previously challenged for the middleweight title.

A video posted by Borrachinha on X featured his visit to the UFC PI, where he discovered packaged and pre-ordered meals for fighters stored in a self-service refrigerator labeled with their names. Instead of his own lunch, Costa opted for Dvalishvili’s, which was twice the size.

Following the upload of the clip on social media, Costa and Dvalishvili engaged in a playful exchange. ‘The Machine’ jokingly commented:

“I am hungry!! I’m coming for you. AND my bag of food”

Costa responded in a playful manner, stating:

“There was so much food for you, bro. Chill out.”

Take a look at the response from Merab Dvalishvili below:

The day after, Dvalishvili took to Instagram to share a hilarious video of his encounter with Costa, who had once again taken his food without permission. Despite their playful argument, the two eventually reached a resolution. In a gesture of apology, Costa offered to make it up to Dvalishvili by sharing some of his famous secret juice with him.

Paulo Costa reveals plans for his comeback to the octagon

Despite a strong performance, Paulo Costa ultimately lost to former UFC middleweight champion Robert Whittaker by unanimous decision in the co-main event of UFC 298 last month.

Following his three-round war with Whittaker, which earned Fight of the Night honors, Costa suffered his first loss in late 2022. The Brazilian faced numerous challenges in 2023, including contract negotiations and medical issues. However, he is determined to stay active and aims to make his return in June.

The most recent post on social media was captioned by Costa:

”Back to fire on camp fight, June I’m back”
