Quick read
Brazilian fans are massively supporting Azamat Murzakanov ahead of his fight against Brazilian Paulo Costa. Costa has become unpopular with his own countrymen due to controversial statements about Brazil's culture and political decisions. Brazilian commenters are promising Murzakanov a monument if he knocks out Costa, with some declaring he would become a national hero on par with Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, and Neymar. Fans are also mass-posting photos of Murzakanov wearing Brazil's national team jersey. The level of home-country support for a foreign opponent is described as truly insane and unprecedented.
