Following Azamat Murzakanov's knockout loss to Paulo Costa at UFC 327, analysis suggests Murzakanov has reached his current skill ceiling. The critique points to his overly obvious entries for single power punches and repetitive combinations as major flaws. He threw only one leg kick across three rounds and managed just 1.5 forced takedowns. The tactical predictability and limited offensive variety were cited as reasons why Murzakanov cannot become a UFC champion at his current level. The post expresses disappointment that these limitations, combined with other unspecified factors, prevent him from reaching the championship level.
