Quick read
Brazilian MMA fans are showing remarkable support for Azamat Murzakanov ahead of his upcoming fight against their own countryman Paulo Costa. The support stems from Costa's controversial statements about Brazil, its culture, and political decisions, which have alienated many of his compatriots. Brazilian fans are leaving comments promising to build Murzakanov a monument if he knocks out Costa, declaring their support for the Russian fighter, and even comparing him to national sports heroes like Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, and Neymar. Fans have also been posting photoshopped images of Murzakanov wearing the Brazilian national team jersey.
