Paulo Costa Ropes In Mike Tyson ‘Ear Bite’ Joke While Reacting to Donald Trump’s Pennsylvania Rally Incident

Paulo Costa and Donald Trump

The “secret juice” fighter Paulo Costa never misses an opportunity to poke fun at any situation. Costa is always active on social media, regularly posting humorous memes about current events. The Brazilian fighter has also mastered Photoshop, often editing himself into various photos to comedic effect. Recently, Costa made fun of Donald Trump’s Pennsylvania rally shooting incident by referencing Mike Tyson’s fights.

On his social media handle on platform X, Borrachinha commented on the incident at Trump’s Pennsylvania rally, where the 78-year-old was injured in a shooting attack. The former US president was left with a bloodied ear after the assassination attempt. While the incident could have turned deadly, Costa saw the funny side.

The Brazillian MMA star posted an old photo of Trump with Mike Tyson, captioning it, “Well, it wasn’t the first time his ear was threatened.”

Back in 1997, Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield had a heavyweight boxing match that became infamously known as the “Bite Fight.” During the fight, Tyson bit Holyfield’s ear – not once, but twice! The first time, Tyson was just penalized two points, but the second bite got him disqualified, fined $3 million, and had his boxing license temporarily revoked.

Nearly 27 years later, Tyson and Holyfield are actually good friends. They’re both considered all-time greats in the boxing world. To some, Costa channeled that iconic “Bite Fight” moment to poke fun at a recent incident involving Trump, which was funny. However, UFC stars like Conor McGregor, Gorge Masvidal, and others showed concern about the incident.

UFC Stars React to Donald Trump Getting Shot in Failed Assassination Attempt

The former US President is well-known in the UFC community, as he regularly appears at major PPV events. He also shares a close friendship with UFC CEO Dana White. When the news of the attack broke, White expressed his anger.

Many UFC stars, including Colby Covington and Conor McGregor, reacted to the news and supported Trump. His backing of the UFC, especially during its early tough years, has made him a respected figure among both fighters and fans in the UFC community.
