Paulo Costa attempts provocation against Azamat Murzakanov, who only smiles in response

Paulo Costa tried to provoke Azamat Murzakanov during a pre-fight encounter, but the Russian fighter responded only with smiles. The interaction shows Costa's attempt at psychological warfare falling flat against the undefeated Murzakanov. The fight between the two is scheduled for this weekend. Costa's inability to get under Murzakanov's skin suggests the Russian is mentally prepared for the challenge. The post indicates this was captured on video during fight week activities.
