Who is Paulo Costa’s girlfriend?
Paulo Costa is recently dating Tamara Alves, his long-term partner. The pair share a strong bond as the 32-year-old Costa refers to her as his manager and even talks about her as the future mother of their children. The two also share a passion for fitness and business.
The shared image showed the 29-year-old fighter trying to make a conversation with Costa’s girlfriend. The Swedish fighter made comments about Costa’s skin color as the chat reads, “Haw you can be together with this shit, he like black boys”.
However, it’s important to note that there’s no solid proof that this image is genuine. As the UFC 294 approaches, this unexpected post from Paulo Costa has added a twist to the fight. Hence, fans are eagerly awaiting a response from Khamzat Chimaev to clarify the situation.
Paulo Costa is among the top Middleweight fighters who hold a significant UFC record of 14-2-0. The 32-year-old fighter is all set to return to the octagon at UFC 294 on October 21. He is scheduled to face Khamzat Chimaev (UFC Record-12-0-0) in a highly anticipated co-main event in Saudi Arabia.
It’s been a while since the Brazilian fighter last fought. Fans last witnessed Costa in action against Luke Rockhold back in 2022. He won the battle via unanimous decision. But Paulo Costa, who stands tall at 6ft, is not just known for his skills in the octagon. He’s also famous for his trolling antics.
‘Borrachinha’ has a knack for hyping up his fights. He creates excitement among fans leading up to the main event. And he’s doing the same for his upcoming bout at UFC 294.
It is among former champions’ most infamous post-fight celebrations. In the DM, Chimaev asked Alves how she could be with a man who likes ‘black boys.’ This, however, drew a quick response from Costa, who took to X/Twitter with screenshots of the DM.
The Brazilian jokingly claimed that he’d report Khamzat Chimaev for harassing his girlfriend (who is also his manager) before sarcastically describing ‘Borz’ as handsome, saying the following:
With the fight just two weeks away, Khamzat Chimaev has ramped up his trash talk in the hopes of unsettling his foe before stepping into the octagon. He recently DM’d Paulo Costa’s girlfriend, Tamara Alves, on Instagram with pictures featuring Israel Adesanya humping him back at UFC 253.
Khamzat Chimaev is set to take on the stiffest test of his career at UFC 294, where he will face one-time middleweight title challenger Paulo Costa in the co-main event. The matchup is likely a title eliminator that could determine the next fighter in line for a championship bout at 185 pounds.
To fans who aren’t aware, Tamara Alves is a passionate entrepreneur. She has co-founded MundoFit, a brand focused on supplements and fitness-related products. Like Paulo, she’s a fitness enthusiast. As per Alves’ Instagram account, she also holds a degree in Civil Engineering. Their love story began back in 2013 before Paulo Costa entered the UFC.
