Paulo Costa attempted to provoke Azamat Murzakanov during a pre-fight interaction, but the Russian fighter responded only with a smile. The bout between the two light heavyweights is scheduled to take place this weekend at UFC 327. Costa appears to be engaging in psychological warfare ahead of what could be a significant fight for both competitors. The relaxed reaction from Murzakanov suggests he is unfazed by the Brazilian's tactics. The matchup represents an important opportunity for both fighters to advance in the division.
