Quick read
Paulo Costa was filmed trying to provoke Azamat Murzakanov in a pre-fight interaction, but Murzakanov simply smiled in response. The exchange occurred in the lead-up to their scheduled bout this weekend. Costa's attempts at getting under his opponent's skin appeared unsuccessful based on Murzakanov's calm reaction. The post suggests this was a deliberate effort by Costa to create psychological advantage. Details about the specific nature of the provocation or the setting are limited in the original content.
