New Zealand UFC star Israel Adesanya has continued his war of words with his next opponent in the octagon, now accusing Paulo Costa of doping.
The two fighters have been feuding, mostly on social media, for more than two years but will finally face off in UFC 253 next weekend. Adesanya says his Brazilian rival will do anything to win in the sport.
"The dirtiest fighter in the sport? There's a few," Adesanya told Hot Ones.
"Even the guy I'm fighting next, I'm going to pop him before USADA does. He definitely has got some extra supplements south of the border he takes.
"He even came out to say he hasn't been tested! I just got tested last night. I don't understand the stress it does to cheat."
