Why did paulo borrachinha change his name to Paulo Costa?

[The Invisible]

Few weeks ago his name was Borrachinha and out of the blue he's a Costa now? Why?

 

[Arm Barbarian]

Cuz he worships Costa philippou?

 

[13Seconds]

"Borrachinha" was actually his nickname.
Now that he's in the UFC he wants to be refered to as "the eraser"

Costa is his last name.

So it's Paulo "the eraser" Costa now.

 

[Katsumi Yamada]

His real name is Paulo Costa

BORRACHINHA was a nickname meaning "little rubber" because his elder brother has the nickname meaning "rubber man".

He has now changed his nickname to "the eraser".

Welcome Paulo "the eraser" Costa







Yes I agree borrachinha was better

 

[RDUBYA]

The only thing going to be erased is his fight purse once he finally pops

 

[Darbo]

Cuz he worships Coast philippou?

Great coast, the beaches are beautiful.

 

[SirKratos]

Why did "Junior" change his name to Jose Aldo

 

[Ol'Ironhead]

The only thing going to be erased is his fight purse once he finally pops

ALL his fights have been in Brazil so far and I do think be will be usada'd soon once he starts fighting more in America. Might even be flagged after this fight

[NotSoSure]

How dare he renounce the noble family name "borrachinha", a lineage that dates back to medieval times???

 

[TjDillashawCombo]

Because Borrachinha sounds lame

 

[lapollarecords]

Because Borrachinha sounds lame

sounds like "drunkard" to a Spanish speaker

 

[Unsurprised Diaz]

When he went to the government agency to change his surname, they asked "what do you want your new surname to be?", and he replied "first, how much it costa?" "Ok, Costa it is"
