It's no secret that Paulo Borrachinha has a deteriorated relationship with the UFC and is increasingly unhappy. Determined to fight his last bout under his contract with the organization, Paulo Borrachinha , who hasn't fought since April, took an extreme measure in Miami (USA).

The Brazilian, who has already asked to leave the UFC, surprised everyone by offering to face the feared Sergei Pavlovich in place of Alex Poatan . The curious thing is that this fight hasn't been officially confirmed, but everything suggests it will happen at UFC 335, an event scheduled for December. Aware of the situation, Borrachinha , who made it clear he would face any opponent in a three-round fight to get out of the UFC, is even open to moving up to heavyweight (up to 120,2 kg) and making his debut against the Russian tank.
“If Poatan doesn’t want to fight Pavlovich, put me in his place. Three rounds. Six weeks,” the fighter wrote on his official account on 'X'.
