As if Israel Adesanya’s dominating victory on Saturday wasn’t enough, the Nigerian also took Paulo Borrachinha and his team seriously by provoking the already knocked out opponent with a “punch” as soon as the central referee interrupted the confrontation. Brazilian businessman Wallid Ismail expressed his outrage when commenting on the position of the middleweight champion (up to 84kg), calling him “vagabond” and “mischievous”, in addition to saying that the Nigerian has no honor. He also said that he believed that the good amount of UFC 253 pay-per-view sales (not yet disclosed) could be a reason for the company to carry out an immediate rematch between them.

– It was a war. He (Borrachinha) did not fight. He said he does not want to give an excuse, he wants a rematch because we think he deserves it for the sale, because they are both undefeated. He had a problem, he did not sleep on the day of the weigh-in, the strategy was wrong. He went up in the third, fourth and fifth rounds, but it was supposed to be from the beginning. It was the first time he wanted to do that and it didn’t work out, but he’s looking forward to a rematch. If it’s not a rematch, he wants to fight the same day as Adesanya. His focus is revenge because what he did at the end of the fight was disrespect. What nonsense, you bastard. In a war, if you win, you must respect it. Tramp made that funny and he’s disgusted with it and wants this rematch. This fight outsold McGregor and Khabib until the start of the fight. It has everything to break the sales record. He is disgusted. That’s what drove him crazy. He’s very upset about this and he wants this fight, this rematch, because he deserves it for everything he did in the UFC. He thought the guy sucked for doing that. In the end, the fight is over, and that? Is it the end of the world. You have no honor. Adesanya has no honor, but okay, let’s go out and hit again. They were both undefeated – Wallid said exclusively to the Combat.

On social media, Paulo Borrachinha said that “some things happened” that hampered his performance, but he preferred not to reveal it so as not to give the impression that he was making excuses for the defeat. Wallid said the athlete was left without sleep on the eve of the fight due to calf cramps and also cited the period of more than a year without fighting as another factor contributing to the Brazilian’s poor performance.
– He doesn’t want me to talk, but if you see his leg, at 10 pm the UFC doctor was in his room because he had cramps in his calf. If you look, his calf was full of suckers. He didn’t sleep for the fight. And another thing: more than a year without fighting. Various factors. There was no performance, I can’t explain it, I don’t know if I was sleepy. Imagine not sleeping for more than 24 hours. You can ask anyone who doesn’t sleep 24 hours what happens. We don’t want to talk about it, he even asked me: “Just tell the people that I will come back stronger, tell the allies that I will come back stronger and I will be champion.” And because Adesanya also fought well. We don’t want to take his credit, but we don’t want … What he did in the end was the end of the world. Borrachinha really wants to beat Adesanya. He said: “Wallid, this is the focus of my life. If you don’t give me revenge, put me to fight the same day that he is going to fight, because if the guy who is going to fight him falls, I fight.” Adesanya is expected to fight again in January or February. This is the date we want. January or February for their return.

According to Wallid Ismail, Paulo Borrachinha’s plan was to move up to light heavyweight (up to 93 kg) after the fight against Adesanya. However, the provocation of the Nigerian after the confrontation caused the Brazilian to change his mind and move on to middleweight.
– He’s very upset, people don’t understand him. Lots of bums talking nonsense, but we don’t care. We listen to allies who know the value of Borrachinha. This guy is a freak, it just wasn’t his day. I don’t even like to say that. This shit about not sleeping … He said, “No excuse, just say I’ll come back stronger than ever. I wanted to go up to 93kg, but my concentration is now 84kg.” He gave up for Adesanya, wants Adesanya. He said, “It’s personal, a matter of honor.” Because what he did was a bum, a shameless, a shameless. Annoying thing. Then he has to pay. You have to go to war. He says, “I’m mad because I didn’t fight.” Nobody expected it. It was crazy. It was a mistake. It was this: when he started kicking, it was war. It took two minutes, the boy in advantage, now it’s war. It is all or nothing. You lose one or you lose a thousand. Whoever loses one loses a thousand. It is difficult to explain. He’s more of a bastard than anyone, but with great will.
