Quick read
Paulo Costa has changed his approach and stated he now hates Russian fighters, with Azamat Murzakanov being the second consecutive Russian opponent he will face. Video footage from Costa's team showed him struggling significantly to reach 93 kg during weight preparation, notably higher than his previous fighting weight of 84 kg. After defeating Murzakanov, Costa plans to target Khamzat Chimaev as his third Russian opponent. This represents a significant shift in both Costa's weight class and stated rivalries.
