Paulo Costa attempted to provoke his opponent Azamat Murzakanov ahead of their UFC 327 bout, but Murzakanov only smiled in response to Costa's antics. The interaction suggests Costa was trying to get under his opponent's skin, but the Russian fighter remained calm and unfazed by the Brazilian's attempts at psychological warfare. The fight between these two middleweights is scheduled for this weekend. The post notes the contrasting reactions between the provocative Costa and the composed Murzakanov.
