FUMING Paulo Costa has vowed to get his revenge after Israel Adesanya 'humped him' following his brutal knockout.

Costa branded his rival a piece of "human trash" after watching a video of his cocky opponent mocking him during the UFC 253 defeat.

'The Last Stylebender' finished the fight in remarkable fashion in the second round, dazing Costa with a kick to the head before ending proceedings with some vicious ground and pound.

But he wasn't done there.

As referee Jason Herzog separated the fighters with Costa, 29, sprawled on the ground, Adesanya appeared to thrust his hips in a humping motion towards his stricken foe.

Costa took in Instagram to share his anger at his behaviour, declaring war in the process.

He said: "Adesanya is human trash.

"This has become a grave situation! I saw his disgusting action after the fight and I will not stop until I have my revenge. Make the fight happen."

He also posted a video with the message: "I'm here to talk about the action that the human trash did after the fight.

"I didn't see it when I was in the cage but I've seen it now and I disapprove 100 per cent.

"Nobody will stop me now, I want my rematch and you know something happened before the fight.

"I'm not making excuses to my people or my fans.

"But I will be 100 per cent ready to fight him and to make him pay, that's my words."

Adesanya showed little remorse for his actions and responded with the comment: "I can stop you.... again."

And he wasn't done there, taking to Insta holding a 'L' sign - meaning 'loser' - with the caption: "Hold this for me real quick."
