The encounter took place ahead of their scheduled bout this weekend at UFC 327. Murzakanov appeared unfazed by Costa's attempts at psychological warfare. The light heavyweight matchup represents a significant opportunity for both fighters. Costa's provocation tactics failed to elicit any negative reaction from his composed opponent.
