Paulo Costa Promises Violent Beatdown of Azamat Murzakanov at UFC 327
Paulo Costa has made it clear he harbors no goodwill towards his Russian opponents. The fighter is set to compete in the light heavyweight division for the first time, facing Azamat Murzakanov in the co-main event of UFC 327 this weekend.
During the pre-fight press conference, Costa, known as "The Eraser," launched several verbal attacks on Murzakanov. This follows his previous refusal to share his "secret concoction" with Khamzat Chimaev, and Murzakanov is now also a target of Costa's taunts.
"He doesn’t know anything about secret juice. This guy is fat as f*ck. He knows nothing about secret juice. I am on secret juice. Not him. Never ask for secret juice for a fat guy like him."
Having recently secured a victory over another Russian fighter, the Brazilian now aims to make Murzakanov, nicknamed "The Professional," his next victim.
Paulo Costa Eyes Khamzat Chimaev After Azamat Murzakanov Bout
Costa also publicly urged UFC President Dana White to schedule a fight with Khamzat Chimaev after his bout with Murzakanov, assuming he emerges victorious. He continued to criticize "The Professional" throughout the press conference.
"I am going to f**k his fat ass up on Saturday. I’m on the co-main event for one reason: to f**k up this fat Russian. Trust me. I represent Latin America, Central America, and our America. Not this Russian. I hate these huge f**king Russians and Dana maybe the third one, Chimaev. I want him next after beating this fat guy."
Costa has previously expressed his interest in competing in both the middleweight and light heavyweight divisions. Meanwhile, the reigning middleweight champion, Khamzat Chimaev, is preparing for his first title defense at UFC 328. Following that defense, "Borz" intends to move up to the 205-pound division to pursue two-division championship status.
Should Costa deliver a decisive victory over the No. 6-ranked contender Azamat Murzakanov at UFC 327 and make a significant impact in the light heavyweight division, a highly anticipated grudge match against Chimaev could become a strong possibility.
