(Photo by Chris Unger/Zuffa LLC) Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Light Heavyweight sluggers Azamat Murzakanov vs. Paulo Costa will throw down this weekend (Sat.
, April 11, 2026) inside Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida, for UFC 327. Undefeated as a professional (16-0), Murzakanov should have a lot more hype. He’s won six straight bouts inside the Octagon, stopping five of his six opponents via knockout.
Perhaps it’s an image problem? 36 years old and small for the division, Murzakanov doesn’t feel like a title threat even if he’s already climbed to the No. 6 position.
Meanwhile, Costa is hitting the career reset button by switching weight. The hulking Brazilian has been inconsistent ever since his 2020 loss to Israel Adesanya, competing just five times since then. Hopefully, he’ll be able to fight more often in his new division.
On the plus side, Costa did look excellent in his final Middleweight appearance, a one-sided pummeling of Roman Kopylov.
