Russian light heavyweight Azamat Murzakanov has stated that defeating Paulo Costa, despite it being the Brazilian's debut at 205 pounds, would move him significantly closer to a title fight. Murzakanov views this as a crucial step in his championship path. The matchup represents Costa's first foray into the light heavyweight division. Murzakanov believes the victory would carry meaningful weight regardless of Costa being new to the weight class. The post asks followers whether this win would put him one step from a title shot or whether the victory wouldn't mean much.
