Quick read
Brazilian MMA fans are overwhelmingly supporting Azamat Murzakanov in his upcoming fight against Brazilian Paulo Costa. The support stems from Costa's controversial statements about Brazil, its culture, and political decisions, which have alienated him from his own countrymen. Brazilian fans are posting comments to Murzakanov promising to build him a statue if he knocks out Costa and declaring him a national hero alongside Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, and Neymar. Fans are also mass-posting photos of Murzakanov edited into Brazilian national team jerseys. The post describes the level of Brazilian support for the foreign fighter as truly insane.
