Brazilian MMA fans are overwhelmingly supporting Azamat Murzakanov in his upcoming fight against fellow Brazilian Paulo Costa. The unusual support from Costa's own countrymen stems from Costa's controversial statements about Brazil, its culture, and political decisions. Brazilian fans are writing comments to Murzakanov promising to build him a monument if he knocks out Costa, declaring their support, and saying he would become a national hero alongside Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, and Neymar. Fans are also mass-posting photos of Murzakanov wearing the Brazilian national team jersey, treating him as an honorary Brazilian.
