Flávio Bolsonaro in Sunday’s runoff, winning an unprecedented fourth presidential term.UFC fighter Paulo Costa urges Brazilians to leave after Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva's reelection Costa urged Brazilians to leave the country, saying he was grateful to live in the United States. The Ultimate Fighting Championship fighter also offered to help others obtain documentation to move there. “Not being part of this madness is a relief, airport is the way out friends,” Costa wrote on X. “Enjoy it while you can still leave. In 4 years the situation will become VERY difficult. Whoever wants, I can help get the documentation for the USA, where I live. It was the best thing I ever did, THANKS TO GOD!” Costa then responded to an X user who criticized his reaction. “My suitcases are at my other house in Las Vegas,” Costa replied. “The one who's gonna cry is you, who lives and is doomed to the Brazil of the PT for another 4 years. I don't have anything to do with this country anymore.” Costa is also in a contract dispute with the UFC over the final fight on his deal. While he wants to complete his contract, UFC CEO Dana White has said “Borrachinha” received multiple fight offers and turned them down.Nao fazer parte desta Loucura é aliviador, Aeroporto é a saída amigos.
