Brazilian MMA fans are overwhelmingly supporting Azamat Murzakanov in his upcoming fight against fellow Brazilian Paulo Costa. The unusual phenomenon stems from Costa's controversial statements about Brazil, its culture, and political decisions, which have alienated him from his own countrymen. Brazilian fans have flooded Murzakanov's social media with messages of support, promising to erect a statue in his honor if he knocks out Costa and comparing him to national heroes like Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, and Neymar. Fans have also been posting photos of Murzakanov wearing Brazil's national team colors.
