Costa attempts to provoke Murzakanov at UFC 327 ceremonial weigh-ins

Paulo Costa tried to provoke Azamat Murzakanov during the UFC 327 ceremonial weigh-ins, but the Russian fighter responded only with smiles. The attempted provocation appears to have had no visible effect on Murzakanov, who remained composed and unbothered. The light heavyweight bout between the two is scheduled for this weekend at UFC 327 in Miami. Costa's pre-fight mind games were unsuccessful in drawing a reaction from his opponent. Details about the specific nature of the provocation are limited.
