Paulo Costa mocks fallen opponent Azamat Murzakanov

Paulo Costa isn’t above kicking a man when he is down, albeit in good humor. Costa (16-4) took on Azamat Murzakanov (16-1) in a light heavyweight clash at UFC 327 earlier this month. Costa was a sizable underdog going into the fight against the previously undefeated Russian finisher.

However, “Borrachinha” showed why he is perennially a top contender as he never let Murzakanov get his game going. Costa pieced Murzakanov apart before finishing him with a head kick and a few follow-up shots in the third round. Costa recently took a dig at Murzakanov over his comments in the lead up to their fight.

“April 11 Paulo Costa is dead,” Murzakanov wrote on X ahead of UFC 327. “I will get justice for all of Brazil. ” Nothing But Crickets However, there had been radio silence from Murzakanov on social media since Costa handed him his first professional loss.

Costa couldn’t help taking a dig at Murzakanov’s absence from social media. “Hi bro, how are you? You've been so quiet lately,” Costa wrote.
