Azamat Murzakanov and Paulo Costa showcase physiques ahead of UFC 327

Current training photos have been released of Azamat Murzakanov and Paulo Costa before their light heavyweight bout at UFC 327 this weekend. This will be Costa's second fight at light heavyweight in the UFC, his first being against Marvin Vettori in 2021. Costa's last five fights have all gone to decision. Murzakanov enters on a six-fight winning streak in the promotion, with his last three victories coming by knockout or technical knockout. The contrasting finishing rates between the two fighters raises questions about whether this matchup will end inside the distance or go the full three rounds.
