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

Photos emerged showing the current condition of Azamat Murzakanov and Paulo Costa ahead of their UFC 327 bout 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. Meanwhile, Murzakanov is riding a six-fight winning streak in the promotion, with his last three victories coming by knockout or technical knockout. The post raises the question of whether this fight will end in a finish given Murzakanov's recent finishing rate and Costa's tendency to go the distance.
