Vinicius LokDog decided to get involved in the recent controversy between Melk Costa e Alex PoatánRecently, the 'Dalmatian' went viral on social media by suggesting that Jon Jones He would easily defeat the Brazilian in a hypothetical fight, an opinion that was not well received by the champion.

After the negative reaction and aware of Poatan's irritation, Melk went to... propose that the differences would be resolved in a grappling match. However, shortly after, the fighter partially backtracked, stating that even a video game match would suffice, a stance that ended up irritating... Vinicius LokDog.

Honestly, this Melk Costa "He was a real wimp, he challenged Alex Pereira to a grappling match, thought it over, and then chickened out. I don't think he'd have the guts even on PS5, but you want grappling in São Paulo? Come welcome me then!!" LokDog wrote in a post on X.

PUBLICITY:

During my participation in Connect Cast, Melk Costa He assessed that in the possible duel between Poatan and Jon Jones The American is the overwhelming favorite. According to Dalmate, 'Bones' would have the advantage mainly in grappling, imposing his takedown game and controlling the ground game. Even so, the fighter acknowledged that the Brazilian would have his chances, although he doesn't consider him the best opponent for the matchup.

"The Jon Jones "He was going to crush Poatan... Because he was going to throw him to the ground, man. It was over. Everyone has a chance, man, but (I don't think Poatan is) the favorite. But he has a chance," he said. Melk Costa.
