Quick read
In an unusual display, Brazilian fans are heavily supporting Azamat Murzakanov over their own countryman Paulo Costa in the lead-up to their fight. Brazilian supporters are leaving comments on Murzakanov's social media promising to build him a statue if he knocks out Costa and declaring him a national hero alongside football legends like Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, and Neymar. The support stems from Costa's controversial statements about Brazil's culture, country, and political decisions, which have alienated him from his home fanbase. Fans are even photoshopping Murzakanov into the Brazilian national team jersey.
