Azamat Murzakanov stated that a victory over Paulo Costa would put him significantly closer to a title fight, despite Costa making his light heavyweight debut. The Russian fighter views this as a key opportunity to advance his position in the division. Murzakanov believes defeating Costa, even as he moves up in weight class, would be a meaningful step toward championship contention. The post asks fans whether this win would put Murzakanov one step away from a title shot or if the victory wouldn't mean much given Costa's debut at the new weight.
