Paulo Costa attempts to provoke Azamat Murzakanov, receives only smile in return

Paulo Costa tried to provoke Azamat Murzakanov during their UFC 327 fight week interactions, but Murzakanov responded only with a smile. The exchange occurred ahead of their co-main event bout scheduled for this weekend. Costa's attempt at getting under his opponent's skin appeared unsuccessful based on Murzakanov's calm, smiling reaction. The brief interaction suggests Murzakanov is maintaining composure and not engaging with Costa's pre-fight tactics. Details about what specifically Costa said or did during the provocation attempt were not provided in the post.
