Paulo Costa was bothered by comments made by Azamat Murzakanov about a 'secret juice' related to Russian fighters. Murzakanov stated, 'Soon, very soon we will show what the secret is. What people from Russia have, you will soon find out.' The comment appears to reference some perceived advantage or training method used by Russian fighters. Costa's reaction suggests he took offense to the implications of Murzakanov's remarks. The two fighters are scheduled to meet at UFC 327, adding context to the pre-fight verbal exchange.
