Azamat Murzakanov and Paulo Costa in shape ahead of UFC 327 this weekend

Photos have been released showing the current physical condition of both 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, following his 2021 bout against Marvin Vettori. Costa's last five fights have all gone to decision. Murzakanov enters the fight on 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 streak and Costa's tendency to go the distance.
