Paulo Costa was filmed trying to provoke Azamat Murzakanov during fight week, but Murzakanov responded only with smiles. The confrontation occurred ahead of their scheduled bout this weekend at UFC 327. Costa's attempts at psychological warfare appeared ineffective as Murzakanov maintained his composure throughout the exchange. The fight represents a significant opportunity for both light heavyweights. Details about the specific nature of Costa's provocations were limited in the post.
