Paulo Costa knocks out Azamat Murzakanov at UFC 327

Paulo Costa defeated Azamat Murzakanov by knockout at UFC 327, marking impressive victories over two top Russian strikers including Sergei Kopylov. The detailed analysis notes that Murzakanov was training at K-Dojo with Murat Keshtov for this camp, which the analyst questions given stronger options available in America. Murzakanov showed fatigue issues similar to his fight with Dustin Jacoby, and while he had success in the second round with a left straight that hurt Costa, he exhausted himself in grappling exchanges. At 37 years old, standing 178cm with 180cm reach, limited kicks and wrestling, and conditioning for only two rounds, the analyst sees limitations for Murzakanov's future despite his talent, suggesting a matchup with Johnny Walker as interesting.
