Paulo Costa is experiencing significant difficulties making weight for his upcoming middleweight bout, with someone from his team posting video showing him barely able to make 93 kg (205 lbs), despite previously competing at 84 kg (185 lbs). Costa has also changed his stance on Russian fighters, now stating he hates them and that Azamat Murzakanov will be the second consecutive Russian opponent in his record. After dealing with Murzakanov, Costa has identified Khamzat Chimaev as his third Russian target. The post also mentions other UFC 327 news, including Johnny Walker giving Jiri Prochazka a surprise gift related to his upcoming daughter's birth, Jon Jones announcing his retirement from fighting to focus on business, Merab Dvalishvili planning two more fights this year despite a broken nose, and Josh Hockett apologizing after breaking character following a cringe-worthy performance.
