Azamat Murzakanov and Paulo Costa show fight-week physiques ahead of UFC 327

Photos have emerged showing the current physical condition of both Azamat Murzakanov and Paulo Costa as they prepare for their light heavyweight clash at UFC 327 this weekend. This will be Costa's second fight at 205 pounds in the UFC, with his first light heavyweight bout coming against Marvin Vettori in 2021. Costa's last five fights have all gone to decision, while Murzakanov enters on a six-fight winning streak in the promotion. The Russian has finished his last three opponents by knockout or technical knockout, showcasing improved finishing ability. The contrasting recent form raises questions about whether this fight will end inside the distance or follow Costa's recent pattern of going to the scorecards.
