Brazilian MMA fans are massively supporting Azamat Murzakanov in his upcoming fight against fellow Brazilian Paulo Costa. Costa faces heavy criticism from his own countrymen due to controversial statements about Brazil's culture and political decisions. Brazilian fans have flooded Murzakanov's social media with supportive messages, including promises to erect a statue in his honor if he knocks out Costa and claims he would become a national hero alongside icons like Ronaldinho and Ronaldo. Fans have also been sharing photoshopped images of Murzakanov wearing the Brazilian national team jersey.
