Paulo Costa attempts to provoke Azamat Murzakanov at UFC 327 event

Paulo Costa tried to provoke his UFC 327 opponent Azamat Murzakanov during a pre-fight interaction, but Murzakanov simply smiled in response rather than engaging with the provocation. The attempted confrontation did not escalate as Costa may have hoped. The fight between the two is scheduled for this coming weekend. Murzakanov's calm reaction suggests he is not being drawn into mental games. This exchange occurred at what appears to be a UFC event or media obligation.
