Joe Rogan recently spoke out about Paulo Costa and the way he dealt with his loss to Israel Adesanya at UFC 253. The Brazilian was certainly not gracious in defeat and things have only gotten worse.

Joe Rogan recently spoke out about it on his podcast with UFC 269 winner, Julianna Pena. He did not hold back on Paulo Costa.

“I think Adesanya’s fight took a real toll on him mentally. There were so many excuses. And it was the way that Israel beat him. I mean, Izzy just lit him up like a Christmas tree.” Joe Rogan said on his podcast (h/t Sportskeeda). “And that was not a competitive fight by any stretch of the imagination. And I think when you’re a guy who steamrolls everybody, and walks down Yoel Romero, and you look like a destroyer – And then this skinny dude just lights you up, and fucks you up, and then dry humps you from behind while beating you up.”

Israel Adesanya had been asked by MMAJunkie about the way Paulo Costa reacted after UFC 256. The middleweight champion couldn't help but agree with Joe Rogan.

“I’ll tell you one thing: The best thing to do in his position is accept the fact he lost,” Adesanya said. “He got his ass whooped. The fact that he keeps trying to make all these excuses, it’s only going to do him worse in the long run. He’s making excuses because his ego can’t handle the fact that ‘The Skinny Clown’ whooped his ass badly then double-tapped him twice.

“Just swallow your ego. You got your ass whooped. Get back to the drawing board and reassess your whole game. You can’t just rest on that because if you do – this is my advice – you’ll never get far in life, or in this game.”
