UFC star Paulo Costa has slammed Kiwi-Nigerian fighter Israel Adesanya for his disrespectful gestures following his second-round technical knockout victory to retain the middleweight belt.
Adesanya destroyed Costa in the Octagon on Fight Island, but after the win he appeared to hump the Brazilian middleweight from behind.
He then made a crude gesture to Costa's corner and walked around the cage proclaiming: "I wrap my d--k around my waist like a black belt".
Costa didn't know what had happened until recently reviewing the footage from UFC 253.
And he was not happy.
"I come here to talk about the actions that the human trash did after our fight," Costa said in an Instagram video.

"Nobody will stop me. Nobody can stop me."
https://twitter.com/mmamania/status/1310086697212882949Costa said he is now out for revenge against Adesanya, but whether he will get another shot at the UFC title holder is not certain.
"I just saw his unacceptable and disrespectful attitude and he will have to pay for that in the Octagon next time. He will have to pay every penny in our next fight," Costa said in another video.
"[UFC president] Dana White, make this fight happen. I didn't see what he did in the Octagon until now. It's a matter of honour now. Dana White, make it happen. I will be 100 percent this time, no excuses, to rip this disrespectful clown's head off."
Costa's manager Wallid Ismail confirmed that he is even considering moving into the light heavyweight division to get a rematch.
"Adesanya is his focus," Ismail said.
"He was thinking about moving up in weight but won't anymore because he wants to get Adesanya, and the UFC owes him that. He will stay [at 185 pounds] only to get Adesanya because he's really upset, outraged with Adesanya's post-fight attitude.
"He's a bum. Warriors fight and when it's over, it's over. But doing that after the fight? He's a bum, and he can expect a nightmare coming at him."
Ismail was also not impressed with Adesanya's disrespectful gestures.
"You can't do that," Ismail told MMA Fighting.
"It was disgusting. [He] showed his lack of character. Two warriors settle their issues in the fight, but he's a bum. That's the worst thing he could have done. [Costa] is pure anger right now."
However Adesanya did not bite on Costa's rematch requests.
"What a joke. Oh he big mad now," he tweeted.
"I can stop you again," Adesanya also wrote in reply to Costa's video.
"Dislike."
