Paulo Costa attempts to provoke Azamat Murzakanov ahead of UFC 327

Paulo Costa tried to provoke Azamat Murzakanov during a pre-fight interaction, but Murzakanov responded only with a smile. The two light heavyweights are scheduled to face each other this weekend at UFC 327. Costa's attempts at getting under his opponent's skin appeared unsuccessful as Murzakanov remained composed. The post suggests Costa was looking to gain a psychological edge before their fight. Their matchup is one of the featured bouts on the upcoming card.
