Quick read
Brazilian MMA fans are overwhelmingly supporting Azamat Murzakanov over their own countryman Paulo Costa ahead of the fighters' upcoming bout. Brazilian fans have been leaving comments promising to erect a statue of Murzakanov if he knocks out Costa, with some saying he would become a national hero alongside Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, and Neymar. The support stems from Costa's controversial statements about Brazil, its culture, and political decisions, which have alienated him from his home fanbase. Fans have been mass-posting photos of Murzakanov wearing the Brazilian national team jersey as a show of support.
