Paulo Borrachinha did not give interviews after the loss to Israel Adesanya on Saturday, in Abu Dhabi, after losing the contest for the UFC middleweight belt (up to 84kg). The Brazilian used social networks on Monday to talk about the defeat, and promised that he will soon contest the title again, and that the end will be different even if he meets the Nigerian as champion. Borrachinha also said that “some things happened” but did not elaborate on what had happened before or during the fight.

– I come to tell you that I’m fine, I’m fine mentally, which is the most important thing, and physically. It wasn’t the day, some things happened – I’m not going to apologize, that’s not why I came here – I came to say that I am stronger, we are more motivated and more eager than ever. The belt project was postponed, but only postponed, we remain strong and focused. We all made mistakes on the team and we will do well together. We already know what went wrong, we also made strategy mistakes, this is true, and we will change. And we will definitely win. Thanks to all who support him, those who are against it, I only regret it, because we will get there, the fighter published in a video posted on Instagram.

Through the same social network, Paulo Borrachinha recorded another message in the “stories”. Knocked out by Adesanya in the second round, the 29-year-old miner fighter promised that the outcome would be different if he found him again in the Octagon.

– Thank you very much to all of you, my friends. Thanks also to all the haters for the messages. Especially friends, cheerleaders, rest assured I’m okay. I already know what happened, I already know what was done wrong, the next time it doesn’t happen, I won’t be waiting. Some things happened, I had some problems, but I am not going to make excuses, the fight is over and he won. But I assure you that the next one will be different. Next time you meet him, if he is still champion, it will be different.

Borrachinha guaranteed that what changes in the search for the belt is time. If it was not now in Ilha da Luta, it will be another opportunity later.

– There are many people who say what they do not know on YouTube. Rest assured, I know exactly what went wrong. We have already spoken with the whole team and we know what happened, only we know what happened. Rest assured, we are focused here and we are going to bring the belt to Brazil whether we like it or not. Nothing changes, only the time changes, it would be now, but it will be soon.
