Daniel Cormier gave high marks to Paulo Costa's showing in his victory over Azamat Murzakanov at UFC 327. The post highlights that Costa's finish was his first stoppage win since defeating Uriah Hall in 2018. It also notes that the last time Costa had a winning streak of two or more consecutive victories was back in 2019. Costa's successful move up to light heavyweight after struggles at middleweight represents a significant career development. The performance marks a potential resurgence for the Brazilian fighter.
