Protagonists of a heated rivalry in recent days, Caio Borralho e Paulo borrachinha demonstrate that provocations aren't just about selling potential fights. Determined to take control of the war, the Fighting Nerds representative upped the ante and involved Tamara Alves, the Minas Gerais native's partner and manager, in his social media statements.

This time, Borralho highlighted moments in which Tamara mentions his name in videos, to defend himself from Borrachinha's statements, who claims to consider the Nerd irrelevant in the MMA scene.

“It’s funny that Borrachinha says I’m irrelevant and that only idiots talk about me… if you went to his wife’s Instagram page, there’s not just one, but two videos talking about me,” Borralho said on his official X account.

The recent provocations began after Borrachinha mocked Fighting Nerds' defeats in UFC Paris e Night UFC. At the time the team avoided conflict, but after the miner refused to fight against Ridder's Reinier Due to the short time and the fact that the Dutchman demanded five rounds, Borralho took the opportunity to mock his rival.
