Paulo Costa attempts to provoke Azamat Murzakanov, who only smiles in response

Paulo Costa tried to provoke Azamat Murzakanov during a pre-fight encounter, but Murzakanov responded only with smiles. The exchange demonstrates differing approaches to fight week theatrics, with Costa attempting to engage in mind games while Murzakanov remained composed. Their bout is scheduled for this weekend at UFC 327. The interaction suggests Murzakanov is not being drawn into Costa's attempts at psychological warfare. Costa's provocations did not appear to rattle his opponent based on the reported reactions.
