Paulo Costa explains why he said ‘f-ck USADA’ at UFC 278 weigh-ins

Paulo Costa is not happy with USADA.

The Brazilian put the United States Anti-Doping Agency on blast after being randomly drug tested while trying to make weight for his middleweight fight against Luke Rockhold at UFC 278.

Despite being asked to submit a blood sample at 7 am on the day of the weigh-ins, Costa was still able to make weight, hitting the scales at 185.5 pounds.

Still, he was understandably frustrated with the situation, yelling ‘f-ck USADA’ at the official weigh-ins yesterday.

“The guy went on my bedroom 7am, I was cutting weight, to take my blood,” Costa said after making weight.
