Murzakanov and Costa face off at UFC 327 in light heavyweight clash

Azamat Murzakanov and Paulo Costa will meet at UFC 327 this weekend in a light heavyweight bout. This marks Costa's second fight at 205 pounds in the UFC, following his 2021 matchup against Vettori. Costa's last five fights have all gone the distance. Murzakanov is currently riding a six-fight winning streak in the promotion, with his last three victories coming by knockout or TKO. The contrasting recent finish rates between the two fighters raise questions about whether this bout will end before the final bell.
