“Brazilian soccer team were respectable when they had drug dealers to make party’s officials and shemale f*cker Like Ronald at 2006 or 2002 . Now they all are feminists or apologize for being straight white . They cannot win wolrd cup sorry . Bring old times back.”

The Brazilian athlete has even hinted at transitioning to boxing. Costa explained to Ag Fight:
“I haven’t renewed with the UFC. I had a talk with Hunter [Campbell]. He was supposed to get back to me. I asked him about a figure, and he was supposed to give me an answer about it. I haven’t gotten an answer yet … I have one fight left and I’m not very sure.“
