Azamat Murzakanov has stated that a victory over Paulo Costa would move him closer to a title fight in the light heavyweight division. Murzakanov emphasized the significance of this win despite Costa making his debut at 205 pounds. The Russian fighter believes defeating Costa will position him just one step away from a championship bout. Costa is moving up from middleweight where he previously competed for the title. Murzakanov sees this as a crucial opportunity to advance his standing in the division.
